A quick warning (Peckham centric)

I just nearly got stopped by a couple of PCSO's (I think, couldn't see properly so may have been Police) next to the Victoria on Bellenden Road. It's on the one way section that I think (?) used to be cycles only/one way.
I noticed them in the distance so stopped, a guy came past me and they pulled him. I have no idea if they gave him a ticket.
I'm sure they're gone now, but just a heads up in case you take that road to avoid Rye lane at 5pm (the horror), as they'll probably be back.

Yeah.. I could understand if it was someone being a dick but the guy who got pulled looked genuinely bemused. You can still see the cycle markings on the road ffs.
Has anyone ever been stopped and ticketed for this? Supposed to be a £30 fine, which seems a bit harsh.

I wasn't aware pcsos had the power to ticket anyone for going the wrong way up a one way street.

As I say, not sure they were ticketing people or were even PCSOs! They were standing either side of the road at the end of the one way street stopping cyclists though, note, not at the entrance, but the end of the one way section.
They were also a bit perturbed by me stopping and judging by the looks on their faces.
Can PCSOs not ticket? Google offers no help.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
