UK’s busiest traffic camera snaps a driver every two minutes
The TelegraphBritain’s busiest traffic camera is catching a driver every two minutes in Brighton, as a Tory councillor criticised the city’s Green administration for “cashing in on confusion”. Brighton and Hove City Council has been accused of treating drivers like “cash cows” after experimental “bus gates” in the Valley Gardens area of the city caught out 310 people every day. He said that if traffic was busy for 10 hours a day then at peak times the council was fining 30 drivers an hour or one every two minutes. Speaking at the Green-led council's environment, transport and sustainability committee meeting on Wednesday where the controversial bus gates were made permanent, Cllr Nemeth said: “The fact that one person is being fined every two minutes at these bus gates is extraordinary.
