ULEZ Camera locations

[KidKruger]

? Lot of ignorance here.?

This could be old news for those people with vehicles that don't meet ULEZ standards, but I hadn't realised this until last week. FYI: when you are caught by a ULEZ camera, the TFL website publishes the date/time of the occurrence and the location of the camera plus a photo. With that, you can obviously map your routes accordingly. Eg. I hadn't realised there was a camera on Lyndhurst/Holly as micromacromonkey mentions above until I saw the TFL photo.

If you get pinged by six cameras in one day, do they tell you the locations and times of all the instances on which you were pinged or just one per day?

Just one.

it doesn't seem to pick up anything around Camberwell & Bellenden

To be fair mask compliance on public transport does seem to have improved of late. I gave up my non-compliant car and have managed so far on bike and public transport. Plan to use zip car and van if need be. I wonder how much of peoples reluctance to give up the car is practical and how much just emotional resistance, it was a wrench but is it manageable.

They are installing a new camera at Grove Vale crossing this morning. Don't know for sure, but possibly ULEZ

It's a cash grab. Anyone put FOI request in yet to see how much in fines and payments generated so far?

Will be ????????!

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

Why put in an FoI request when the figure has been published in the newspapers already? It's in the link on the thread above.

It appears that the mayor now wants to extend his cash grab out across the whole of London.

IMHO he can't generate enough revenue from the existing scheme so casting his net wider.

It's not really about pollution as we're all moving to electric vehicles aren't we.

Perhaps he needs money for new clothes to attend all of his celebrity freebies.

[Spartacus]

Is that the emperor's new clothes? 😄

[DuncanW]

It's sad that you would take that view.

I think it's a solid step forward in reducing the deadly, life-limiting pollution we are all breathing - albeit, I am sure, in unequal measure.

The Green Party agree

Lib Dems agree

Rosamund Kissi-Debrah agrees

Asthma + Lung UK agree

Even the RAC have issued a statement supporting the move

[Spartacus]

Is it sad or cynical of his motivations

After all in a few years we're all supposed to be driving electric or hydrogen vehicles so it's a short term expensive tool that when petrol/ diesel is no longer used will need to look at another way to raise revenue

Petrol and diesel cars are going to be sold for another 8 years - if the government doesn't let the timetable slip. The idea that we are shortly going to be in a place where London is running on electric cars only is nuts - and even electric cars cause congestion and noise. They're not a magic bullet.

It won't be down to the government in the end, it will just be a commercial reality that you won't be able to buy an internal combustion engine any more and shortly afterwards you won't be able to buy fuel for one.

Sorry that your "anti-pollution" campaign to stop people richer than you from owning cars has failed.

with khan its all about the money

if you can afford it you can pollute.

since ulez has put me on foot, my husband had a car push him over.

I don't think that's true - he developed adult-onset asthma in 2014 (two years before becoming Mayor) - that's why he's made it a key battle. It's personal.

These measures are (democratically) popular - there are plenty of us with young kids with asthma/chronic lung disease/wheezing who walk our kids to school, and want to do so without them having to breathe in the fumes of petrol and diesel cars. We didn't create this pollution, why should we have to breathe it in?

We have had illegal levels of air pollution on our road (Lordship Lane) the whole eight years we've been living here - surely our right to health is more important than others' right to pollute?

Very sorry to hear this - we absolutely need to make walking much safer, and crack down on dangerous drivers and riders.

Imagine what might have been achieved if he had been stabbed or mugged.

There's an online petition against the second expension of the ULEZ

https://chng.it/y65K5QZvY7

Some interesting comments about why people are signing it.

[Nigello]

Lameduck - I am with you on the lack of safety from at least some (a sizeable minority) of cyclists. So many - even the "nice" ones with baskets and dangling children, with pink vests - go through reds and many others (especially the delivery cyclists) scoff at front and back lights. The more of us who are cycling, the more of us will be at risk of these bad apples, so it is reasonable to ask for best practice to be adopted alongside the measures being put in place to expand the number of non motor-using road users.

[Waseley]

This thread is about the ULEZ. Why use it to have a go at cyclists. Why are you so angry about cyclists? Don't answer that one here. I am not bothered about the outer boroughs and won't be shedding a tear if they get the ULEZ. If they were less carcentric, introduced 20mph, improved cycle infrastructure I may feel differently
