New powers will bring enforcement of road rules at four key Gloucestershire locations

Motorists will find some key changes on popular traffic routes in Gloucestershire later in May.


The aim is to reduce congestion, improve bus journey times, and improve road safety.


The changes are coming after Gloucestershire County Council applied to the Department for Transport for new powers to enforce moving traffic contraventions. The idea is to help police focus on other priorities


The government approved the county's council's request to enforce moving traffic contraventions last summer. The enforcement of traffic contraventions at four locations is going live on May 20.


Taxis are also reminded they are banned from using this restricted area of Cheltenham High Street. They should access the High Street via Bennington Street.


The county council says this enforcement of traffic rules will help reduce congestion and improve traffic flow and road safety. This will encourage more people to take up walking and cycling and encourage greater use of public transport.
