New ‘no stopping’ red route rules on busy ring road in Leicester

Some temporary lane restrictions will be required and nearby residents have been warned there could be noise disturbance, the council said.Letters have been delivered to nearby homes and businesses to give notice of the forthcoming work, which may be noisy.Geoff Whittle, assistant city mayor for transport and environment, said: “This extension to two existing red routes is being introduced to tackle the problem of cars and lorries stopping illegally along this busy road.”It will help cut congestion, keep traffic moving more efficiently and improve journey times for all road users on this important route in and out of the city.”Officials said there were no current plans to install fixed enforcement cameras on the red route, but the new rules would be enforced by the city council’s CCTV camera car.
