Summary and Overview of the Act Part 6 .Civil enforcement of traffic contraventions
15.Part 6 includes powers providing a single framework to make regulations for the civil enforcement by local authorities of parking and waiting restrictions, bus lanes and some moving traffic offences. These regulations will replace existing powers in national and London local legislation. It will enable regulations to be made giving authorities outside London civil enforcement powers to cover some moving traffic offences (such as ignoring the rules at box junctions and banned turns) using camera evidence, and additional powers in respect of parking enforcement which already exist in London.
16.The Act also gives the appropriate national authority a reserve power to direct a local authority outside London to apply for civil parking enforcement powers.
