Drive to stop motor offences

CAMERAS could be installed on a borough's problem roads to stop drivers breaking the rules.

Motorists caught causing offences in yellow box junctions, taking prohibited turns, ignoring 'no entry' signs and flaunting other rules could be hit with charges under the scheme which is part of Stockport council's new moving traffic offences policy.

Enforcement would be used when there is a 'significant amount of noncompliance' with the rules of the road. The town hall was granted powers by the government in 2024 to issue fines to motorists for certain traffic offences. Council leader Mark Roberts and his cabinet team have now adopted a new policy over how to use the powers.
