Have your say on plans to improve road safety and traffic flow

We are consulting on 16 proposed new locations for moving traffic enforcement across the borough.

These would be in addition to the 11 existing sites. Cameras may be moved between sites and used where they are most needed.

Moving traffic enforcement uses cameras to make sure drivers follow road rules, such as no entry signs, banned turns and yellow box junctions. If drivers break these rules, they may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

Moving traffic enforcement has been proven to be effective since the council gained powers to enforce these offences in 2023, with offences falling by 17.6 per cent overall between April 2024 to March 2025 and April 2025 to March 2026. At some locations, reductions have been particularly significant. For example, at the junction of Barkham Road, Station Road and Station Approach in Wokingham (where there is a ‘no right turn’), offences fell from 1,849 to just 432 over the same period. On Murdoch Road, where drivers must follow a ‘keep left’ directional arrow, offences also reduced from 259 to 157.

We have used traffic monitoring and site visits to identify locations where these rules are not always being followed and where enforcement could improve safety and keep traffic moving more smoothly.

The aim at each location is to achieve at least one of the following:

• Improve road safety
• Tackle congestion
• Increase the number of drivers complying with the rules of the road
• Support public transport by improving journey times
• Improve air quality

Before making any decisions, we want to hear your views to help make sure any future changes work well for local people and road users.
