Moving traffic enforcement

About moving traffic enforcement

Derby City Council were granted powers by the Secretary of State in relation to the Civil Enforcement of Moving Traffic Contraventions Designations and Miscellaneous Amendments Order 2022 and in accordance with paragraph 10 of schedule 8 of the Traffic Management Act 2004. These new powers came into effect on 15 July 2022.

The Designation Order enables Derby City Council to carry out civil enforcement of moving traffic contraventions to correspond with the area where Derby City Council has been designated as a civil enforcement area for parking contraventions and as a special enforcement area by article 3(1) and 3(2)(a) of, and Schedule 1 to, the Bus Lane Contraventions (Approved Local Authorities) (England) (Amendment) and Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions Designation Order 2012(7) as it had effect immediately before the relevant date.

Our Safe Haven Zones (restricted streets) are covered by the Traffic Management Act 2004. For more information, visit our School enforcement page.

Trial locations

Derby City Council were granted powers to enforce moving traffic contraventions on 15 July 2022, with the Council using the powers for the first time on 23 September 2022.

The Council has started on a small trial basis and are the first local authority outside London and Wales to use the powers to take enforcement action. The trial is constantly being reviewed for best practice to ensure lessons are learned and to help towards our future approach to moving traffic enforcement.

There are four trial locations:

More information about the trials can be found on the Lets Talk Derby website.

We are also trialling School Safe Haven Zones.
