Manchester Road/Croft Street - In Consultation
Have your say on plans to install traffic cameras to enforce existing turning restrictions and yellow box junction.
Why camera enforcement is needed
The key junction of Manchester Road and Croft Street in Bradford city centre experiences high volumes of traffic every day. A marked yellow box junction and turning restrictions are currently in place to keep traffic moving and prevent vehicles from blocking the intersection. However, these restrictions are regularly ignored. Ignoring these restrictions can cause congestion, slow traffic, create conflict with other vehicles and pedestrians, and in extreme cases, prevent emergency services from passing through quickly.
Bradford Council is proposing to install traffic cameras to enforce turning restrictions and encourage correct use of the box junctions. Enforcement will help to keep traffic moving smoothly, improving safety for all road users, and reducing the risk of collisions.
This map shows Bradford Council’s plans to install cameras on the junction of Manchester Road and Croft Street, to enforce existing traffic restrictions. New cameras will enforce existing box junction restrictions and no right turn restrictions onto Croft Street and Senior Way. The map is illustrative and indicates existing permitted traffic flows and new camera enforcement locations.
How it will work
If the proposals to install cameras are approved, during the first six months of operation, warning notices will be issued for first-time offences. Subsequent offences will incur a penalty charge notice (PCN) of £70, discounted to £35 if paid within 21 days. Appeals will follow the existing process for parking and camera fines.
