Improving the public transport network will also encourage commuters to choose more environmentally friendly forms of travel and thereby reduce CO2 emissions.

Challenges to a  Penalty Charge Notice can only be made in writing to Bedford Parking Services at the address shown on the reverse of the Notice within 14 days of the date the Notice was issued.

Bus lanesigns explained

A ULEV is defined as “a vehicle with CO2 tailpipe emissions of less than 75 grams per kilometre and with a capability of travelling a minimum range of 10 miles with zero CO2 emissions”.

The Police are responsible for the enforcement of the majority of traffic regulations where vehicles are moving, such as speeding or other forms of dangerous driving. However, authorised by current legislation, Bedford Borough Council will enforce bus lane contraventions through the issuing of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs).

The enforcement of bus lanes is carried out by a static approved camera, which can be moved between bus lanes when needed. The camera takes a recording of any unauthorised vehicle using the bus lane and the evidence pack is then assessed by a civil enforcement officer to issue a postal penalty charge notice if necessary.

We are responsible for enforcing the correct use of bus lanes throughout Bedford Borough. Effective and efficient bus lane enforcement allows the Council and its partners to achieve easier and more consistent journey times for buses and taxis through congested areas by allowing the free flow of authorised bus lane traffic.

A minibus is defined as a bus (and so can use all of our bus lanes) as long as it has a minimum of 10 seats including the driver.
