Since 1999 the London Boroughs and Transport for London have been using CCTV cameras to enforce traffic regulations. The introduction of enforcement of traffic regulations by CCTV cameras is one part of a wide-ranging programme of measures intended to improve the reliability and punctuality of public transport, reduce congestion and pollution. The intended aim of most traffic management measures, such as bus lanes and parking regulations is to give priority to certain groups of road users by excluding others during prescribed hours. The introduction of CCTV monitoring of traffic regulations is supposed to reduce the level of contraventions and so reduce delays on the highway network. A code of practice was produced in June 2001 in order to ensure that the use of CCTV for this purpose was consistent throughout London and in accordance with current best practice. Designed to ensure that issues such as privacy and integrity are properly respected and by setting a minimum standard, it is supposed to bolster public confidence in the system.
