https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/yellow-...ocid=spartandhp Can anyone confirm paragraph 3 " Most yellow box junctions are found in urban areas, where tailbacks can block opposing traffic flow. Until recently, only local councils in London and Cardiff could issue fines for ‘moving traffic violations’. However, drivers across the UK now face the same rules.

It's only an idea at present.
In a parliamentary question, Lib Dem peer Lord Bradshaw asked Transport Ministers whether they intended to extend the civil enforcement powers contained in the Transport Management Act 2004 (section 6) to authorities outside London to better enforce moving traffic offences, in order to protect cyclists and pedestrians'. Baroness Vere replied: 'We are giving thought to the role these powers could play in helping councils to deliver their transport recovery plans.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-83...r-offences.html https://www.parliament.uk/business/publicat...0-05-12/HL4331/ This post has been edited by stamfordman: Thu, 4 Jun 2020 - 16:37 |

Seems to have been mooted for a while
Nov 18 - https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/fleet-indu...stly-for-fleets Oct 19 - https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motoring-n...it-whole-of-uk/ Can't see anything has come into force though. With councils now hit with coronavirus debt though I can see them looking for easy ways to increase funds though. Given that though, I'm not sure how this one was allowed. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/dartford/news/...drivers-204352/ |

" And how do you check It's misleading to say "drivers across the UK now face the same rules". They have always faced the same rules (as explained in the Highway Code), just the enforcement has been different: councils in some areas, police in others. |

Given that though, I'm not sure how this one was allowed. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/dartford/news/...drivers-204352/ I'm not sure it has been, as the Kent County Council website has no options to pay or appeal such penalties and only references parking PCNs. You'd also have thought that if this had come into force, we would have seen a few cases by now. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
