Motorists could face a fixed penalty notice if they flout these rules
The local authority has an obligation to ensure traffic in the city is kept moving and can do so safely. After a change by government earlier this year, the council’s cabinet will accept new powers to punish those who flout moving traffic restrictions.
According to a new report ahead of the cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the council will only consider enforcement of traffic restrictions where it would help improve road safety, quality and accessibility of public transport, benefit the environment or manage the traffic network to ensure efficient movement of traffic and tackle congestion. Powers granted previously solely to London to enforce moving vehicle contraventions were extended to Liverpool.
Vegetation will be cut back, and site lines kept clear so that road users can clearly see the restriction in force as they approach it. Camera enforcement schemes will only be taken forward at locations where road users continue to fail to comply with the restrictions, despite these enhancements. “To promote compliance at all times, Liverpool Council will issue a PCN to any vehicle that stops with two wheels or more in a yellow box junction for a period of three seconds or more.”
