Civil Parking and Bus Lane Enforcement Policy
The policy document outlines the parking and bus lane contraventions enforced by Sheffield City Council.
These are issued under The Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Approved Devices, Charging Guidelines and General Provisions) (England) Regulations 2022.
The documents include details of how restrictions are signed and exemptions that apply.
Enforcement of the following restrictions will start from 20 May 2024. Motorists can be issued a penalty charge if they:
- park across dropped kerbs (lowered for vehicle access or pedestrians)
- park in cycle tracks
- double park
- park a Heavy Goods Vehicle with wheels on the footway
- park non licenced vehicles offering goods for sale
Bus lanes and bus gates are already enforced. Enforcement of other moving traffic restrictions will commence later in 2024 (these may already be enforced by the police)
Drivers should also keep up to date with published government rules on GOV.UK: The Highway Code, road safety and vehicle rules.
