Derby City Council has been given power from the UK government to use cameras to enforce moving traffic offences (MTOs).
Using Roadflow Attended technology, cameras will be fitted around certain locations in the region later this month to help reduce congestion and prevent road collisions.
Steve Hassall, councillor and cabinet member for regeneration, decarbonisation, strategic planning and transportation, Derby City Council, said: “The council is delighted to be among the first group to be given these new powers.

“Receiving powers to use cameras for offence previously enforced by the police will make a really positive impact on increasing road safety and will be used when education and engineering has failed to achieve driver behaviour change, meaning enforcement is a proportionate response.”
Public engagement events took place earlier in 2022, with residents expressing support for camera installation at multiple locations selected based on past road safety issues reported to the council.
More locations around the city will be considered in the future, with the option available for residents to email suggestions to the council.
