Following 18 months of consultation, Derby City Council is expanding its multi-award winning Moving Traffic Enforcement operation to three additional sites across the city.
The move aims to improve road safety, reduce congestion, and support smoother travel for residents and commuters.
The new enforcement measures will be rolled out at Iron Gate, Osmaston Road (junction with Ascot Drive), and Manor Road (near Constable Lane).
To encourage behaviour change without a financial penalty, the Council will be issuing warnings to drivers who breach the measures for the first six months before any Penalty Charge Notice is issued.
These powers were first introduced across Derby in 2022, targeting a range of moving traffic offences including:
- Driving into School Safe Haven zones
- Stopping within yellow boxed markings
- Violating banned turns, no entry, and one-way signs
- Driving in Pedestrian zones and parking mandatory cycle lanes.
In line with legislation, income generated from these measures will be used to cover the operating costs of the scheme. Any remaining surplus is legally ring-fenced for Highways and Transportation works in Derby.
Potential projects that would benefit include the continued expansion of School Safe Haven zones and the ongoing provision of school crossing patrols.
Councillor Carmel Swan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Transport and Sustainability, said: “Whilst most drivers are careful and considerate, those that commit moving traffic offences put pedestrians, cyclists and other road users in danger. We’ve already seen the effectiveness of these enforcement measures and taken your feedback into account when planning this expansion. Rolling them out further will help us make travel safer in more parts of the city, especially for those considering active travel options.”
