Well..

I don't really know about the corridor,but two or three days ago I paid a penalty..

What happened was: I approached the zone from north, in Marylebone area, with intention of just skimming the edge of the zone (remaining outside), but...

There were roadworks, and temporary sign "no right turn"
So I had to go straight.

On the next trafgic lights I was faced with a choice:
To go left, into a one-way against the traffic
To go straight into the zone
Or go right into the zone!

I went right, right again, left onto the road outside the zone (back onto my route)

I rang TFL within an hour of it happening.
They told me that

A) their cameras do NOT register reg plates... (Oh... And the sky is purple, isn't it?)
B) I won't be charged.

Few days later..

£80.

If I pay immediately.

Much more if I delay.

Nothing to do with emissions, as my car seems to comply with the standards. This was only for the C-charge.

But nevertheless.. I don't see their approach as "user friendly"..
