Wolverhampton bus lane cameras to be switched on in June
Motorists in Wolverhampton will be fined for driving in bus lanes from June onwards.
Published
Cameras are being installed at bus lanes across the city.
The move is expected to rake in hundreds of thousands of pounds for Wolverhampton City Council.
Cleveland Street, Stafford Street, Wednesfield Road, Wolverhampton Road and Willenhall Road are the first five to get cameras, with more to follow.
People will get penalty charge notices of £70 if they drive in a bus lane, which will increase to £105 if not paid with 28 days.
Around £165,000 will be spent installing the system – but chiefs hope to recoup £250,000 in fines in the first year alone.
Some cameras are already in place across the city, but have not yet been switched on.
