Road Traffic Offences: Enforcement

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to extend the civil enforcement powers contained in the Transport Management Act 2004 (section 6) to authorities outside London to better enforce moving traffic offences, in order to protect cyclists and pedestrians.

Answer

We are giving thought to the role these powers could play in helping councils to deliver their transport recovery plans. Meanwhile, the police retain the necessary moving traffic enforcement powers outside of London.
