Transport for LondonNo Christmas break for road rules
A reminder for drivers who don't want an unwelcome fine this festive season!
Bus lane, red route parking and yellow box junction regulations will be enforced over the busy Christmas and New Year periods.
TfL aims to ensure that drivers can travel around the capital during this time without getting caught up in congestion caused by those few inconsiderate drivers who break the law.
Patrick Troy, TfL's Head of Traffic Enforcement, said: "Please take care to observe the rules of the road when you drive.
"Don't drive in bus lanes unless the signs say you can, and keep yellow box junctions and red routes clear, so that London's traffic can keep moving for everybody."

- TfL is responsible for operating and improving conditions for all road users on 580km of London's most important roads - the red routes, which can be identified by the red road markings or signs at the side of the road. Also known as the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN), red routes comprise only 5 per cent of the Capital's roads but carry approximately 33 per cent of its traffic.
- The penalty charge notice (PCN) for illegally parking on a red route, obstructing a bus lane or yellow box junction is £100, reduced to £50 if the penalty is paid within two weeks.
- Any motorist receiving a PCN they feel is unjust can appeal against it in the same way as they would a parking ticket.
TfL's Transport Policing and Enforcement Directorate (TPED) aims to deliver world class transport policing and enforcement services to support a safe, reliable and socially inclusive transport system for London.
