Birmingham City Council’s recently implemented right turn ban has already led to the issuance of at least 65 penalty charge notices (PCNs) within just 10 days. The council has introduced Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to enforce the moving traffic restriction, aiming to improve traffic flow and safety in the area.
The new enforcement system uses ANPR cameras to monitor vehicles attempting to make the prohibited right turn. Drivers caught violating the ban are subject to fines, reflecting the council’s commitment to ensuring compliance with local traffic regulations.
This swift enforcement action highlights the council’s dedication to using technology to manage traffic and reduce violations. Motorists are advised to be aware of the new restrictions and comply accordingly to avoid penalties.
