Drivers can soon be expected to see an "avalanche" of fines as councils are given new powers.
Across England, councils will soon be able to enforce yellow box junctions, as well as fining for making an illegal turn or driving the wrong way down a one-way street, as part of efforts to promote cycling and walking. The RAC claimed many motorists will be unfairly punished unless the Government improves its design, maintenance and enforcement guidelines for local authorities.
The Department for Transport (DfT) will soon begin accepting applications from councils to issue fines for moving traffic offences. Successful applicants will be able to issue penalty charge notices (PCNs) for these offences from June 1, reported Wales Online.
