Traffic Ordinance Amendment (Enforcement of Traffic Offenses by Local Authorities) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Traffic Ordinance by adding new traffic offenses to the list of offenses local authorities may enforce. The new offenses include: running a red light, entering a blocked intersection or a blocked railway crossing, vehicles entering pedestrian streets during prohibited hours, vehicles entering areas where traffic is restricted or prohibited due to air pollution, and parking violations and problems related to road signs. The change gives local authorities the power to enforce these offenses also through camera systems based on license plate recognition technology.
