Northumbria Police utilized buses for a weekend operation aimed at identifying distracted drivers, resulting in 26 citations for various offenses, including mobile phone use and not wearing seatbelts, emphasizing the dangers of distracted driving as a major road safety issue. Meanwhile, Stoke-on-Trent has deployed transport safety officers to curb anti-social behavior on buses, with the power to issue fines for offenses like littering and vandalism, following a series of incidents involving violence and intimidation on public transport. The initiative aims to reassure passengers and create a safer travel environment, supported by local police. In Kent, over 70,000 drivers have been fined in a bus lane enforcement campaign, raising concerns over unclear road signage that has led to numerous appeals against fines. Local residents express frustration over the confusion caused by the signage, prompting the council to enhance visibility of restrictions. The combined efforts across these regions highlight ongoing challenges in maintaining road and public transport safety.
