Derby City Council intends to adopt powers which allow enforcement of moving traffic offences, something the Police currently enforce. These powers make full use of Part 6 of The Traffic Management Act, 2004. We want to hear your views on this.

Vehicles which contravene driving restrictions create potential dangers to both pedestrians and other road users. Whilst the Police carry out enforcement currently it is not a top priority and the Council will be able to deploy a more robust manner of enforcement to reduce the casual disregard of the restriction there is at some locations.

Historical data has been examined and this has led to us initially proposing to use the powers at four trial locations. Enforcement will take place using an Approved device, a CCTV Traffic Enforcement camera.

The four trial locations are:

Friar Gate, Ford Street, Stafford Street (signaled junction) – where contravention of the turning restrictions leads to conflict with pedestrians

Darley Park Road – this is a long-standing issue and has been the site of minor accidents and complaints about the risk to children at school times

South Avenue, Junction of Valley Road – there is some evidence that vehicles exit the ring road and contravene the no-entry restriction with the associated risk to road users

Sitwell Street/ Chapel Street, Spondon – contravention of the no-entry restriction appears to be a persistent issue with the risk of vehicles meeting head on with limited forward visibility

What does this mean to me?

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?

Please send any comments to parking.services@derby.gov.uk

There will be an online meeting on Thursday 25 November, 2021, with a 10am start. If you would like to attend this meeting please e-mail parking.services@derby.gov.uk so an invitation can be sent to you.
