Cameras will record city’s illegal parkers

CCTV cameras are to be used in the heart of London for the first time to catch motorists causing traffic jam by parking on double yellow lines and vans unloading illegally.

  About 20 cameras have been set up in the West End to detect and fine vehicle owners who park illegally, in an effort to keep traffic flowing and reduce traffic jam.

  The scheme, which could eventually be extended nationwide, will also be used to spot and prosecute(起诉) people who attack parking attendants.

  Although the cameras are primarily for parking offences, the police will be allowed to access to film footage(录象资料).

 The introduction of the CCTV cameras by Westminster City Council follows an eight-week trial that resulted in a marked improvement in traffic flow. The trial showed that the number of offences committed trailed off(减弱,) over the time of the study and fewer penalty(处罚) notices were challenged.

  Over the next three weeks Westminster is running an awareness campaign to inform drivers about its new parking enforcement. During this time motorists who disobey the regulations will be issued with a warning. After that, parking tickets will be issued.

  The main focus of the new scheme is on double yellow lines and loading bays in areas such as Piccadilly, the Strand, Oxford Circus and Soho.

  Dan Chalkley, Westminster council’s cabinet member for economic development and transport, said, “Our pilot scheme proved that CCTV is reliable and cost-effective.”

  Paul Watters, the AA’s head of roads and transport policy, said, “A camera won’t spot the blue badge or note on the windscreen about the car being broken down.”
