Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the new powers given to local authorities to take enforcement action against drivers parked in cycle lanes will apply to all mandatory cycle lanes.
The powers in force since 22 June 2020 allow local authorities with designated civil parking enforcement powers to use approved cameras to enforce parking and loading restrictions while in operation within mandatory cycle lanes. These restrictions are indicated by prescribed yellow line or kerb markings and traffic signs as appropriate. The powers do not apply in mandatory cycle lanes where such restrictions are not so indicated.
