KCC consultations on yellow box junction enforcement in your area

Kent County Council has launched a number of live public consultations on proposals to introduce moving traffic enforcement at yellow box junctions, using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, at locations across Kent.

Several of the proposed sites fall within, or directly affect, your area.

Please see a table of sites here:

Site Description

Site 1: Ashford At the junction of North Street and Somerset Road

Site 2: Canterbury On Wincheap heading westbound towards Thanington Road

Site 3: Dover At the junction of Maison Dieu Road, Park Street and Godwyne Road

Site 4: Maidstone At the junction of College Road, Mill Street and Knightrider Street

Site 5: Maidstone At the junction of High Street, Fairmeadow and Bishops Way

Site 6: Maidstone On the A229 Loose Road by Plains Avenue

Site 7: Maidstone From the A274 Sutton Road and A229 Loose Road heading towards Sheals Crescent

Site 8: Maidstone At the junction of Bearsted Road and the Eclipse Park

Site 9: Thanet At the junction on the A254 Marine Terrace and Marine Gardens with Eaton Road in Margate

The proposals aim to address ongoing congestion and safety issues caused by vehicles stopping illegally in yellow box junctions, which can lead to gridlock, bus delays and traffic diverting onto local roads.

Further information and the consultation questionnaires are available via the Kent County Council Let’s Talk portal:

• A282 Junctions 1a & 1b consultation
• Yellow box junctions across Kent consultation

Both consultations opened on 9 December 2025 and will close on 3 February 2026. All responses will be considered by Kent County Council before any decisions are made.

KALC will also be publicising these consultations through KALC News and encourages councils to share the information locally where appropriate.

If you have any questions about the consultation process, please contact Kent County Council directly using the details provided on the consultation pages.
