What are we consulting on?

We would like to know what you think about our proposals to introduce Moving Traffic Enforcement at key locations across the city where traditional means of enforcements have not been successful. The types of moving traffic offences that we would like to enforce include ignoring ‘No right turn/No left turn’ signage, accessing ‘No entry/One Way/Access Only’ streets, driving down ‘Mandatory Cycle Lanes’, vehicles idling in yellow boxed junctions and vehicles driving within School Safe Haven zones within the restricted times. We have identified a number of locations where we would like to trial Moving Traffic Enforcement Powers.


Why does the Council need the Moving Traffic Enforcement powers?

Vehicles that contravene driving restrictions create potential dangers to both pedestrians and other road users. Enforcement will take place using an approved device, a CCTV Traffic Enforcement camera.


Are Moving Traffic Enforcement powers used anywhere else in the city?

Derby City Council was the first Local Authority outside London and Wales to use the new Moving Traffic Enforcement powers. These powers enable the Council to enforce moving traffic offences and makes full use of Part 6 of The Traffic Management Act, 2004.

Derby City Council began using these from 23 September, 2022 at ten sites which were selected for the initial implementation. The ten locations were:

  • Friar Gate/Ford Street/Stafford Street
  • Darley Park Road
  • South Avenue at junction with Valley Road
  • Sitwell Street/Chapel Street Spondon
  • Six School Safe Havens


What we have learned

Since we implemented enforcement at the first ten locations, data that we have collected showed enforcement had a positive effect on driver behaviour. Over 88% of drivers who received a Warning Notice did not contravene for a second time; this educational approach led to drivers abiding by the restrictions without them being subject to a financial penalty.

The Council has continually reviewed approaches and refined methodology to reflect the challenges faced to ensure the approach taken is fair and proportionate.


Where are the new locations we are proposing?

The Council is now proposing to introduce some more sites to enforce, sites which have been identified following analysis of historical complaints, feedback from Councillors and residents and through engagement with Schools. The same 'Warning Notice' approach will be taken at these sites with drivers receiving an educational approach in the first six months from enforcement starting and it is hoped this will lead to the same positive outcomes as achieved in the first set of sites.

The new trial locations are:

  • St Alban’s RC Academy School
  • Reigate Park Primary Academy School
  • Bishop Lonsdale C of E Primary School
  • St James’ School

We want your views on the proposals. In particular:

  • Do you think taking these powers is a good idea?
  • Do you think there are some negatives?
  • Are there other locations we should consider for enforcement in the future?

If you would like to find out more, we will be hosting an online meeting which you can attend at 11.30am on Thursday 31 August 2023.
