A controversial bus gate set to make a council over £5m in fines is snaring more than 200 drivers a day.
An average of 366 motorists a day were being fined for driving on Arundel Gate in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. But even after the council installed large, red signs warning of the gate more than 200 motorists a day are still being caught. The new signs state 'Bus Gate Enforcement Now Started' but before they were installed, it only said 'Bus Gate' on the actual road.
'The significant and immediate reduction in the number of penalties being issued each day confirms that the original signage was inadequate. 'Drivers are already under considerable financial pressure as a result of the high cost of living, they should not be required to pay fines as a result of Sheffield City Council’s errors.
