Information About

Traffic Warden




Traffic Wardens have the power to request that a vehicle stop or not stop or to make a vehicle proceed in a certain direction. They also issue Non-endorsable Fixed Penalty notices (now Penalty Charge Notices, for Metropolitan Police Traffic Wardens) to vehicles that are breaching certain parking regulations, which may include stopping on a Red Route , exceeding the time limit in a free parking bay, or parking on yellow lines, which indicate that a waiting and/or loading restriction is in force. They also issue Endorsable Fixed Penalty Notices for parking offences such as dangerous position and parking on crossing controlled areas.
