Moving Traffic Enforcement frequently asked questions

The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead is preparing to start enforcement of existing moving traffic restrictions, initially at 10 problem locations, in order to improve road safety and reduce congestion.

Once powers are enacted to enforce moving traffic contraventions, will the Police cease to enforce these in the borough?

The Police still retain the powers to enforce moving traffic contraventions; in effect they will become dual enforced. 

If a motorist is issued a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) for the same contravention, double jeopardy applies and the Police FPN takes precedence over the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) which will be cancelled by the Local Authority on production of evidence.
