FOI reveals 40,000 vehicles caught stopping in one box junction last year

One road junction in Fulham made the council £2.7 in road fines last year, a Freedom of Information request has revealed.

The Telegraph report:

The yellow road restriction in Fulham, west London, has been nicknamed the “Money box” after cameras caught more than 40,000 vehicles stopping in it last year.

But local drivers say the junction is a “trap” because the way traffic lights operate makes it almost impossible to avoid stopping in the zone.

It earned Hammersmith and Fulham council £2.7 million in 2011/12 – more than some professional footballers playing nearby would earn.
