CCTV for bus lanes to stop the congestion

Kingston Council and Transport for London (TfL) are set to roll out a new CCTV camera system for bus lanes on November 1.

It is illegal for motorists to drive in a bus lane during its operational hours.

Road signing will clearly outline the times that bus lanes are operational and which vehicles are permitted to use it within these times.

Any motorists travelling illegally down bus lanes are likely to be recorded on CCTV and risk a penalty of £100. The fine is posted to the owner of the vehicle who, under the legislation, is responsible for the payment of the charge.
