Drivers in Tamworth will notice some changes to the way we monitor restricted parking zones from next month. After a successful trial period earlier in the year we are replacing the manual tyre chalking system with a Licence Plate Recognition Camera.
The new system uses a camera mounted to a vehicle which provides live monitoring and alerts on a handheld device. The new system is more efficient with time and resources, and will lower the risk of on-road staff injury.
Infringement notices will still be put on vehicle windscreens, except in some busy traffic sites in the interest of community and staff safety. Those notices will be mailed to vehicle owners.
