POSSIBLE NEW TRAFFIC CONTROL POWERS FOR THE COUNCIL

The Council is considering taking up new powers to enforce moving traffic rules on four junctions across the borough.

This follows the government announcing last year that local authorities in England could apply to get new powers to enforce moving traffic offences under Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.

The moving traffic rules that could be enforced include drivers entering hatched yellow boxes when there is no exit, making a turn that is not allowed, making u-turns where they are banned or entering restricted areas. Further details at-
