Appealing a TfL Red Route PCN
Red routes make up 5% of London's roads but carry over 30% of traffic. They are enforced vigorously by TfL CCTV cameras.

- Boarding / Alighting Disabled (Blue Badge) Holders: Blue Badge holders are legally permitted to stop on single or double red lines for up to 6 minutes to allow a badge holder to board or alight.
- Licensed Taxi / Private Hire Exemption: Licensed vehicles are permitted to drop off or pick up fares on red routes.
- Emergency Breakdown or Police Instruction: Stopping due to mechanical breakdown beyond the driver's control or under direction of police.
