Abstract

Decriminalised parking enforcement (DPE), with the local authorities issuing parking tickets and not the police, was introduced in London in 1994, for all roads except the main arterials. The local authorities collect the penalty charge fees to assist in funding enforcement costs. The paper describes the process of introducing DPE and will also consider the traffic management and community benefits deriving from DPE, including evidence from a comprehensive post implementation review in Watford. The role of effective enforcement in an integrated transport strategy is illustrated in various towns and cities. The benefits of traffic management powers and enforcement of those powers being the responsibility of the same authority, and the benefits of funding enforcement from ticket income, is demonstrated.
