answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2015 answer text <p>Enforcement of moving traffic offences associated with mandatory cycle lanes is currently a matter for the police as they have the powers to stop vehicles. Civil enforcement officers are able to enforce parking contraventions in mandatory cycle lanes, but effective enforcement of moving traffic contraventions, if Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 were commenced, would require the installation by local authorities of camera systems.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 18/03/2015 11:54:36 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
