Can I be fined for idling?
Although we are committed to raising awareness to change behaviour in the long term and educate through signage, we have an enforcement role.
As outlined in the cabinet report, any driver of a motor vehicle parked on the highway who refuses to switch off their engine if asked by a Civil Enforcement Officer can be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.
The charge to the motorist is £60, but if this is paid within 14 days it is reduced to £30.
