Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has announced new fines to ensure the safe use of its roads and car parks. The airport is issuing new warnings to drivers who stop, park, or wait on new double red lines throughout the airport.
Effective from May 27, LBA will be issuing £100 fines to those who breach the new measures. The airport says the new rules are in place due to increasing congestion, which is causing blocked lanes and creating safety risk and delays for emergency vehicles responding to incidents at the airport.
The new measures will bring LBA in line with other airports in the UK and they have said that the main reason for these changes is passenger and traveller safety. Drivers who tailgate other vehicles out of car parks in an effort to avoid payment could also face £100 fines as well as those occupying more than one bay or using disabled bays without appropriate authorisation.
