Roads Bill 2007

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Roads Bill 2007 would enable barrier-free tolling on national roads, allowing cameras to record vehicles and imposing extra charges on people who fail to pay. It would also allow certain high-standard roads to be designated as motorways, support new roadside service and rest areas, and update road-management powers and penalties. Taxi regulation would be strengthened by licensing dispatch operators, extending fare controls to hackneys and limousines, increasing some fines and allowing fixed-charge penalties for certain offences.
