Entering a prohibited zone by motorcycle

[Magic1986]

Hello, I have a question. I entered to country park by mistake on a motorcycle, I drove in through the entrance road (entry by car was allowed)when I realized that entry was prohibited for motorcycles, I left immediately the park. I wouldn't want to get in trouble.I'm stressed because I'm just starting my adventure with motorcycles, I have to be more careful and I won't come to this place again. Will I be fined?
Who will prosecute such an offense , police or the council ? Are there penalty points for this?

I presume it was a private road so it would be a civil matter between you and the land owner. Then it would come down to how clear the signeage is. Also if it's in any way worth their while persuing it, which I doubt.

I'm not aware of any public roads in the UK which allow cars but not motorcycles (maye someone is aware of one?). If it was, it would probably be a simple case of failure to comply with a traffic sign which is a small fine and no points, again, if anyone considered it worth their while persuing it. Usually the kind of thing you'd only get done for at the time if a copper saw you do it.

There are also byways which are open to traffic but which landowners sometimes put up signs saying no motorcycles on, these signs often have no legal standing.

Details are a bit vague as an example for good reason motorbikes aren't allowed in some types of zoo where animals can roam about as it isn't safe.
Not just lions but large animals like even bison or wild cattle even monkeys running loose can be aggressive and dangerous to anyone not inside a vehicle.

They have no power to send you a fine in any case.
Nothing at all will happen from what you describe as simple mistake not noticing signs.
If someone challenged you on entering but you took no notice or ignored them an offence might have been committed.

Thanks guys, you calmed me down a bit
I didn't want to do something illegal. I didn't make any unnecessary noise and left the park immediately. I just started riding a motorcycle and had been to this park by car before, I had no idea that motorcycles not allowed.

Have a peaceful Sunday

In order for you to be prosecuted for riding on private property you have to be breaking the road traffic act.

What part of the road traffic act did he break? It wouldn't be ignoring a 'no entry' sign because that applies to all vehicles.

Signage that follows the road traffic act yes. This sign doesn't seem to apply to any clause under the road traffic act and it's not careless driving to ignore a sign that has no legal standing under the road traffic act.

It's a bit like parking in the parent and child spaces in the supermarket. There is no equivalent in the road traffic act so you cannot be done under criminal law. Ignoring a no entry sign in there can be prosecuted under the road traffic act.

For it to be a tangible problem you would either have to get stopped and issued a ticket by police or a council designated employee. Tickets physically issued by private bodies are "speculative invoices" and have little legal worth.

Alternatively were there any ANPR cameras? Something might turn up in the post. Again, if it's from a public authority then pay it. Private bodies can get fucked.

The closest restriction I've seen is public parks with "no commercial vehicles" signs and one of my engineers (in a marked works van) got nabbed.

No one else curious to know where this park is?

I sometimes visit Grafham water ( an occasional bike meeting place) full of APNR and ride around the barriers Anglian Water

We need a link to it on Google maps so that we can see the sign which says entry is prohibited for motorcycles.

Curious. Not really that close to Ace Café but it is a nice long one-way straight. No oncoming traffic but don't fancy my chances against a lorry pulling out from the industrial units.
