A BUS lane to help people travelling through Clayton-le-Moors towards Accrington is to be enforced today, following misuse by some drivers.
Cameras have been installed on the bus lane which runs along Whalley Road, between Clayton Hall Drive and the Sparth Road crossroads.
The enforcement cameras will catch unauthorised vehicles on the bus lane however a short grace period will be introduced to help people become aware of the change.
Daniel Herbert, highway network manager for Lancashire County Council, said: "We want to discourage people from using this bus lane when they shouldn't.
"This lane is designed to help people travelling by bus towards Accrington, which should encourage people to think about using the bus rather than travelling by car, which helps to reduce congestion.
"We don't want anyone to get caught out by these cameras, which is why we've introduced a short grace period.
"We're happy if we don't make a penny from them, as it means that people are doing the right thing."
