Moving Traffic Offence enforcement
Moving traffic enforcement powers are a way of managing moving traffic behaviours by enforcing restrictions via the issue of fines/penalty charge notices for motorists that break the rules and regulations in place.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras have been installed at the sites to be enforced, and Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) will be issued by post to the registered keeper of the vehicle.
What is the enforcement?
A Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) will be issued for Moving Traffic Offences.
The penalty will be £70; however, this will be reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days.
In the six months following each camera being activated, first-time offenders will be sent a warning letter but if they continue to ignore driving restrictions they may be issued with a PCN.
What will happen to the income generated by fines?
Any income from fines will be used:
To recoup costs of enforcement with any surplus income being used in accordance with the legislation but may include: -
- public transport provision
- to pay for highway improvement projects
- to pay for environmental improvements in the Council’s area.
