The findings will allow local authorities to implement decisions without involving central Government but still keeping a national consistency in signage. The findings acknowledge peoples changing transport habits as they are encouraged to walk and cycle more. Advice will be provided to local authorities on reducing sign clutter and removing unnecessary signage.

There are guidelines set down that by each police force that state whether a camera be it fixed or mobile, should be marked, signed or in a specific position. These however are guidelines and policies set by each individual police force and not law. When a Police force wants to plough the money received from speed cameras back into road safety schemes (sometimes referred to as the netting off scheme) then they are required to follow guidelines but again this isn’t law. If you have been caught speeding and feel that the Police didn’t conform to requirements then you are entitled to complain to the Safety Camera Partnership but using this as a defence in court will not stand up.

The plans, currently being tested in the London Borough of Kensington, hope to allow cyclists the most direct route whilst travelling safely and legally. Previously councils needed to provide a costly dedicated cycle lane but if the scheme gets approval, all that would be needed is new signage. Other measures included signage for dedicated car club parking and electric car charging points.
