Local Councils in England are set to be given powers to fine motorists who commit minor traffic offences, under new legislation being drawn up by the Department for Transport.
The change to the Traffic Management Act 2004 is set to bring England in line with London, where local Boroughs already use video analytics and automatic number plate recognition cameras to identify and fine drivers who commit moving traffic contraventions. These include offences such as driving in cycle lanes, failing to adhere to one-way systems and no-entry signs, banned left and right turns, U-turns, no-vehicle entry points and entering yellow box junctions.
Local enforcement schemes improve road user safety and reduce queuing at specific intersections, but also contribute to improving the traffic flow in surrounding areas, reducing wider congestion, and improving air quality.
Local authorities with civil parking enforcement powers will soon be able to apply for a designation order for moving traffic enforcement – and issue penalty notices for contraventions.
