Traffic enforcement

Moving traffic contraventions

Moving traffic contraventions relate to traffic controls in the Highway code and include contraventions such as

  • driving through a 'No Entry' sign

  • turning left or right when instructed not to do so

  • entering box junctions when your exit is not clear

We have the responsibility of enforcing certain moving traffic contraventions which should make our roads safer for everyone and less congested.

Enforcement of these contraventions is carried out by CCTV camera - using both fixed cameras and mobile CCTV camera vehicles.

If you ignore these road signs and markings you will be issued with a fine (a penalty charge notice or PCN). All PCNs are supported by CCTV evidence.

We will send the PCN (with photos of the vehicle commiting the contravention) by post to the vehicle’s registered keeper within approximately 28 days from the date of the alleged contravention. In all cases it is the owner, not the driver of the vehicle who is liable to pay the PCN.

How to pay

  • Pay online

  • By telephone with a credit or debit card on 0845 1300 555

  • By cheque made payable to London Borough of Hounslow

For cheque payments, please send to the address shown on the PCN.
