We’ve installed cameras on bus lanes across the city. Drivers who illegally use bus lanes will risk being caught on camera.

Bus lanes should only be used by buses, cyclists, hackney cabs and emergency services. They are there to make buses quicker and reduce journey times.

The police can already prosecute people who illegally use bus lanes but are unable to monitor bus lanes all the time.  Our cameras can operate 24 /7 and make it much easy to identify vehicles and provide evidence of the offence.

The advice is simple – observe the bus lane restriction and avoid the chance of being issued with a £70 penalty charge notice.

This is not a profit-making exercise but a way of improving sustainable travel around the city.  Any money will be reinvested to make improvements to roads and transport in the city.

Please see details of Private Hire vehicles bus lane trial.
