Moving Traffic Enforcement frequently asked questions

In the coming weeks, the council will use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to tackle illegal and dangerous driving activities, such as turning up one-way streets, ignoring no entry signs, exceeding weight limits and driving in pedestrian zones. 

This went live in July 2024 and enforcement has started. For the first six months, motorists who break the rules will be sent a warning letter for each first-time infringement of their vehicle at each location. Any subsequent breach during this period will lead to a penalty charge notice.

After that first six months, warning letters will end and all breaches will result in a penalty charge notice. Fines will be reinvested to maintain the cameras and make roads safer and more efficient. Please see questions and answers below for further information.
