Moving traffic contraventions

Moving Traffic Contraventions are listed in the Highway Code. They include contraventions such as entering a road through a 'No entry' sign, driving into pedestrian zones, and making right or left turns when advised not to do so. The signs below indicate all of these.
We also enforce box junctions, so please ensure that you do not enter one unless you are turning right, or your exit is clear.
