In a recent incident on Wembley High Road, a north London council collected 313,555 from drivers who ignored traffic restrictions during road repairs. The lane was closed for 18 weeks due to needed infrastructure upgrades. An FOI request revealed that 5,701 fines were issued in a 17-day span, highlighting a significant number of motorists either unaware of or ignoring the no-entry signs. The council expressed surprise at the high rate of violations, and despite warnings, fines averaged 55 per driver fined and could increase if unpaid.
Brent Council's enforcement of traffic restrictions on Wembley High Road during major repairs generated over 300,000 in just 17 days due to widespread violations.
Despite the presence of warning signs and enforcement cameras, 5,701 fines were issued for using a road lane restricted to buses and emergency vehicles.
