Drivers in South Shields have been reminded that a new enforcement camera at a bus gate is now in operation.
The new camera has been installed at an existing bus gate on Dean Road, near the A194 junction.
South Tyneside Council said the camera aims to stop general traffic travelling north from the A194 roundabout onto Dean Road.
The enforcement camera began operating this week, from Monday, November 9.
Drivers who use the bus gate when they are not allowed may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

“The cameras will enforce the existing bus gate on Dean Road, at its junction with the A194.
“The bus gate itself isn’t new, but from Monday the restriction will be enforced by camera.
“Please check the signs when approaching and, if the restriction applies to your vehicle, use an alternative route.”
