Drivers found to be flouting bus lane rules in Weston will soon face a fine, according to North Somerset Council.
From Monday, May 23 new automatic number plate recognition camera systems (ANPR) will enforce two sections of road which have been designated as bus lanes. These are found at the existing Queensway Bus Terminus at Commercial Way/Queensway Commercial Centre in Worle and the new Bus Interchange at Alexandra Parade/Regent Street in Weston.
The council says that the two sites require the control of unauthorised vehicles in order to operate safely and free from congestion. It also says that these areas generally experience high pedestrian movements and unlawful use of the infrastructure has had a detrimental effect on public transport operator journey times and service provision at key times.
