In the centre of Tunbridge Wells there is a short section of road which between 10.00AM and 4.00PM is restricted to use by buses and taxis only. Recently I stood by the Millennium Clock and in a ten minute period counted sixteen vehicles which should not have been using the road.
Enforcement of the traffic regulations is non-existent. Surely it is not beyond the capability of the relevant statutory bodies to install a camera to record offenders and send out penalty notices?
In Ashford bollards have been installed to stop vehicles using Beaver Road as a rat-run. Buses and taxis are able to use the road as they have been fitted with devices which, when activated, lower the bollards. Why hasn't this been tried in Tunbridge Wells?
