Reminder on enforcement camera set to go live in Northampton next week

09 January 2025

Drivers are reminded that they will face charges if they flout the rules as an enforcement camera on a bus lane in Northampton goes live next week.

A traffic enforcement camera that will go live on Monday (13 January) has been installed at the top end of Gold Street, between College Street and Bridge Street where motorists are not allowed to use the bus lane.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is rolling out enforcement cameras across the area, as part of a phased approach to improve pedestrian, cyclist and driver safety and encourage better driver behaviour.

The camera will enforce existing bus lane regulations similar to The Drapery, and at this location, there will be no statutory six-month warning period for motorists so any motorist who breaches the rules will receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) of £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 21 days.
