How are bus lanes enforced?
Powers were granted for civil enforcement of traffic contraventions by approved local authorities in the Traffic Management Act 2004. Nottingham City Council is an approved local authority under The Bus Lane Contraventions (Approved Local Authorities) (England) Order 2005 for the purposes of S. 144 of the Transport Act 2000 (civil penalties for bus lane contraventions). The cameras and recording system have been approved under The Bus Lanes (Approved Devices) (England) Order 2005.
