According to the free London papers, Haringey council picked up over
£3 million in fines from parking offences, bus-lane offences and
box-junction offences in Lordship Lane alone in the period of
2004-2005.

What the article failed to point out was that Haringey council would
have made exactly £0 if all the drivers had actually obeyed the rules.
Councils can't use cameras as revenue-raisers unless drivers let
them.

Out of interest did the article state whether the cameras had reduced
congestion in the area? There has been discussion on this topic in
another thread on here, with some posters agreeing that in general box
junction cameras do reduce congestion, but Nik Morgan (NM) suggesting
this is not the case.
