Moving traffic enforcement consultation - phase 3
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 data shows the restriction is not being complied with. The types of moving traffic offences that we are able 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 more locations where we would like to trial Moving Traffic Enforcement Powers for this phase 3 consultation.
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, with the following locations currently being enforced :
- Chapel Street, Spondon – no entry, Bramble Street - no right turn and one way
- St Alkmunds Way – yellow box junction
- Curzon Street – mandatory cycle lane
- some School Safe Haven zones https://letstalk.derby.gov.uk/hub-page/school-safe-havens-updates.
What we have learned
Our data tells us that enforcement had a positive effect on driver behaviour with over 88% of drivers receiving a Warning Notice not contravening for a second time. This educational approach is powerful as it directly leads to drivers abiding by the restrictions without them being subject to a financial penalty.
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, and feedback from Councillors and residents. 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:
No Entry
Hanbury Road
Prince Charles Avenue
Village Street
How can I give my feedback?
The consultation is now open until midnight on Tuesday 30 September 2025. Please email your comments about the proposals to movingtrafficenforcement@derby.gov.uk.
We want your views on the proposals. In particular:
- Do you think taking these powers is a good idea?
