Cameras will be used in 17 locations across Nottinghamshire to clamp down on motorists breaching bus lane rules or parking and blocking bus stops
. Nottinghamshire County Council plans to increase its traffic enforcement across the county because of “significant contraventions” of road laws.
The northbound bus lane on Bridgford Road, in West Bridgford, and the eastbound bus lane on Bridge Street, Mansfield, will also be targeted. All six locations will get new automatic number plate recognition cameras to monitor cars contravening the bus lane regulations so fines of up to £70 can be issued to motorists.The authority says more surveys will check other bus lanes to see if there are further problem areas.
“As part of this scheme, the existing signage and lining will be reviewed at each of the identified bus priority sites to ensure motorists are fully aware of the rules and restrictions in place. This includes Leeming Street, in Mansfield, where bus company Stagecoach last year stopped travelling after 6.30pm due to several bus stops’ “proximity to fast food outlets”.
