Traffic Management Act 2004 - Part 6
Thurrock Council are planning to use new powers granted to Local Authorities to enforce certain moving traffic offences. These offences include:
turning left, right or making u-turns when instructed not to do so
driving the wrong way up one-way streets
entering yellow box junctions when the exit is not clear
driving where and when motor vehicles are prohibited
These powers do not include speeding which remains the responsibility of the police.
We will use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to identify drivers.
During the first six months of enforcement warning notices will be issued for a first offence allowing us to educate drivers about the contravention that they have committed.
The benefits of these powers include:
improved road safety
improved air quality
reduced journey time and congestion
Locations
To allow us to apply for the powers we have selected one initial location with yellow box restrictions.
Once the powers have been granted, we will be able to consider other locations without having to reapply to The Department for Transport (DfT).
Have your say
Before applying for the powers we will carry out a six week consultation about this initial location where we are proposing to implement enforcement measures using traffic enforcement cameras.
If we are given the powers, people will also have the chance to comment on any further new sites planned, as the regulations require that a six week public consultation is held for any proposed new sites before they can be enforced.
If we are successful in applying for these powers, enforcement of the initial locations proposed is expected to start around July 2023.
If you have a view, comment or alternative option please complete the form below.
The consultation closes on Sunday 5 February 2023.
