What are Moving Traffic Powers?

Brighton Council is getting new powers to use cameras for enforcing traffic rules, which used to be a police job. These Moving Traffic Enforcement powers let councils tackle things like illegal turns, box junction blocking, and driving in bus lanes, aiming to improve road safety and traffic flow. It means councils can now directly fine drivers for these offences.
