ulez zone ??

[akc74]

Can someone clarify if you were to do a hyper local journey in ED/PR that didn't involving crossing the South Circular would it def involve being charged every time? Are there loads of cameras within the zone itself?! I should know this.... and I will soon find out (!) but obviously we use the car relatively little as it is, just wondering re these occasional journeys i need to do.

AKC74 it depends on if you pass a camera linked to the ULEZ system or not

Although one suspects that as the scheme matures more cameras will appear on main roads through the area.

@akc74, you can drive around ED/PR at the moment without incurring a charge. TFL don't seem to use speed or bus lane cameras to police the ULEZ. I know one person who drove from Essex to London via the A12, crossed the Rotherhithe tunnel and arrived in ED without incurring a charge either.

Was that vehicle signed up to Autopay? It's only been 9 days since ULEZ expanded so a penalty notice (or whatever) probably would have arrived yet.

[Duc748]

Yes, signed up to autopay from day one of the ulez.

Auto Pay bills you automatically every month for any Congestion Charges and ULEZ ... So could they have just not got the bill yet?

Does the system (assuming it's one for both charge types) not provide any information at all fairly soon after a triggering event?!

[Duc748]

@Scrummymummy, you are correct. The bill came in today for the Essex trip, 7 days after the journey. Driving around ED/PR remains uncharged though.

Not for long, I suspect ..

Any idea how autopay usually takes to show up?

@alex_b, 7 days has been my experience so far.
