(RBC) DRIVING IN A BUS LANE


Just had a Penalty Notice and fined £70.00 (£35.00 if I pay pronto) for driving in an RGZ Revenue Generation Zone (bus lane) on Bath Road from Reading Borough Council - this is their photographic evidence - my car is (allegedly) the one at the top of the photo - 🤔

Other than Bath Road and the bus gate in Beresford Road, where 3,214 notices were issued, the rest of the top five places where drivers were caught out were in Reading town centre.

You can see the top 10 places where fines were issued listed below.
  • Minster Street (westbound) – 7,582
  • Beresford Road (northbound) – 3,214
  • St Mary’s Butts (northbound) – 2,722
  • Bath Road – 2,321
  • Friar Street (eastbound) – 1,887
  • Southampton Street – 1,820
  • The Forbury – 1,795
  • Friar Street (westbound) – 1,663
  • A33 (southbound) nearside lane 2 – 1,488
  • Hemdean Road – 1.410
The council spent £1,281,910 on enforcing bus lane fines in 2020-21, and made a total of £1,408,765, delivering a £126,855 surplus.
