School Street enforcement
Driving in the zone during the times that the restriction is in force will be an offence. West Midlands Police can take action relating to anyone caught driving in the zone without a permit when the restriction is in place and issue a fixed penalty fine.
Changes in legislation now allow the use of enforcement cameras to monitor School Streets. Over the coming months, opportunities to transition to a new camera-based enforcement system will be explored.
The transition to an enforcement camera system must be demand and evidence-led and requires the introduction and use of a virtual electronic permit system. It does however offer the potential to significantly aid the effectiveness of School Streets schemes and may help to meet the objectives of reducing traffic in and around the school gates and encouraging active forms of travel to school.
