Moving Traffic Offence

Islington Council issues £120 fines to motorists who disobey traffic signs and pose a threat to the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists.

Moving traffic contraventions are enforced under the London Local Authority Act 2003. They include contraventions such as banned right or left turns, no entries, blocking a yellow box junction, going the wrong way in a one way street and illegal U turns.

Deterring drivers who commit these contraventions improves the safety, wellbeing and environment of residents and visitors to Islington, making the borough a better place to live and work.

CCTV camera enforcement

Enforcement of moving traffic contraventions is carried out using both static CCTV cameras and branded CCTV camera vehicles that record contraventions.

Motorists who ignore road signs and markings will be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) for £120, reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days. All PCNs are supported by CCTV evidence.
