The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General (Amendment) Regulations 2020 Not just London by the look of things but the whole of England which will throw up issues with camera cerifications IMO. Government Advice Note: Power to Use Cameras to Enforce Parking and Loading Restrictions within Mandatory Cycle Lanes 1. On 22nd June 2020, SI 2020/548 came into force. This SI amended the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General Regulations 2007 to include in the list of circumstances where PCNs for parking contraventions may be issued by post on the basis of camera evidence: parking contraventions in a mandatory cycle lane. 2. This note provides some guidance on things to remember when enforcing against parking in mandatory cycle lanes. Advice on how to provide space for cycling within highways – including cycle lanes – is included in Local Transport Note 2/08. 3. Your attention is also drawn to “The Secretary of State’s Statutory Guidance to Local Authorities on the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions”. That Guidance sets out the policy framework for Civil Parking Enforcement. It explains how to approach, carry out and review parking enforcement. 4. All enforcement authorities in England must have regard to this Guidance (as stipulated by section 87 of the Traffic Management Act 2004) when exercising their civil parking enforcement functions. 5. The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 (TSRGD) prescribes the appearance of mandatory cycle lanes; the road marking to diagram 1049B in Schedule 9, is what defines a mandatory cycle lane. While TSRGD 2016 removed the requirement to place upright signs to diagram 959.1 or 960.1 in conjunction with the 1049B marking, authorities should do so to indicate the times of operation; even when operational at all times. The upright sign to diagram 958 in Schedule 11 gives advance warning of an oncoming mandatory cycle lane. 6. It should be noted that, while vehicles are not permitted to be driven within the boundary of a mandatory cycle lane during its hours of operation, it is not an offence to park at these locations; unless there are also single or double yellow line markings in operation at the kerbside. Similarly, unless a loading restriction is in force, indicated by single or double yellow kerb marks to indicate part-time or full-time respectively, there is no offence caused by the act of boarding or alighting, loading or unloading (or other relevant exemption) at these locations. 7. We have not changed the nature of the parking contraventions, the new SI merely allows local authorities to use approved camera devices (like those they already use to enforce parking in bus lanes, red routes, parking restrictions near schools, and bus stop/stand clearways) to enforce standard parking restrictions that happen to be located within the solid white line of a mandatory cycle lane. 8. In enforcing parking restrictions referred to in paragraph 6 that may be present in mandatory cycle lanes, the local authority will now be able to collect evidence of the contravention from either direct observation or from the record of an approved device1. Any such device must 2 be certified by the Secretary of State. To comply with certification the system must be used in accordance with the Guidelines issued by the Vehicle Certification Agency. Information about how the legal requirements will be assessed, and how to apply for certification is available from www.vca.gov.uk 1 A device specified in SI 2007/3486 2 SI 2007/3486 and SI 2007/3483, Regulation 10 MMV This post has been edited by MMV Redux: Sun, 26 Jun 2022 - 13:38 |

Interesting, as while the legislation used to make in an offence to park in mandatory cycles lanes, under TSRGD 2016 the wording was changed so it no longer does.

I'm reading para 7 & 8 to say that they can once again use camera to enforce parking contraventions that happen to be within a cycle lane??
Must read the actual legislation! I had seen that TFL seem to have applied and will be enforcing. The articles seem to infer that this means anywhere in London but I'm putting that down to journalists not understanding that TFL are limited to red routes...though may be wrong on that. |
