Transport for London (TfL) has recorded a 57% rise in income over five years from fining drivers using major roads in the capital, with a leading motoring organisation saying the transport authority has ensured London’s streets are now “paved with fines”.

Figures show it received £89.3m in the 2023-24 financial year for perceived offences on its red route network, up from £56.8m in 2018-19, according to a draft version of its next annual report seen by the PA news agency.
