London has the necessary powers to enforce moving traffic contraventions and the penalties are a matter for the Mayor. Outside London, apart from bus lane contraventions, moving traffic offences remain a matter for the police. Local authorities may wish to work with the local police services where targeted enforcement could address a specific problem.
