14 cameras could be installed at locations across Buckinghamshire to enforce moving traffic offences.

Buckinghamshire Council has launched a consultation, asking for residents' views on proposed new camera locations to enforce fines to vehicles that break moving traffic restrictions. 

These restrictions include driving in a bus lane, taking a restricted turn - for example, turning right at a left-only junction, and stopping in a hatched box.

The council believes enforcing these will improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, reduce congestion, improve journey times for public transport and improve safety near schools.

Thames Valley Police has worked alongside the council by reviewing road safety reports to identify new areas which could be improved.

The council will use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras to enforce certain restrictions across Buckinghamshire.

Where new ANPR cameras could be installed:

  • Padbury – Lower Way – No entry into Lower Way
  • Chesham – St Mary’s Way (A416) – Banned right turn from Bellingdon Lane
  • Chesham – Moor Road – No entry into Moor Road
  • Iver – Bangors Road North – No goods vehicles exceeding 7.5t weight limit except for loading
  • Iver – Bangors Road South – No goods vehicles exceeding 7.5t weight limit except for loading
  • Aylesbury – A41 Exchange Street – No right turn from the A41 Exchange Street (North East bound carriageway) into Waitrose Car Park
  • Aylesbury – A41 Exchange Street – No right turn from the Exchange Street Car Park onto A41 Exchange Street (South Westbound carriageway)
  • Aylesbury – Oxford Road – Bus lane
  • Aylesbury – Oxford Road – Yellow box junction
  • Denham – Oxford Road – No right turn into Oxford Road
  • Denham – A412 North Orbital – No right turn from North Orbital Road
  • High Wycombe – A40 London Road – Bus lane
  • High Wycombe – Oxford Road – Yellow box junction
  • High Wycombe – Amersham Hill – Yellow box junction

If a vehicle breaches the moving traffic offences in these locations, residents will be sent a £70 fine, reduced to £35.00 if paid within 21 days of the penalty charge notice being served.

Moving traffic offences can still be enforced in locations where we cameras have not been installed as these could be fine enforced by the police force. 

Residents can have their say by emailing MTO@buckinghamshire.gov.uk or writing to Moving Traffic Offences consultation, Parking Services, Buckinghamshire Council, The Gateway, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury HP19 8FF by Sunday, October 29. 

The Cabinet Member for Transport will consider the consultation responses and the proposed locations for enforcing moving traffic offences.

If the proposed new locations are agreed upon, Buckinghamshire Council plan to start rolling out enforcement from December 2023, completing in 2024.
