Lambeth has several camera-enforced bus lanes across its main routes, including Brixton Road, Streatham High Road, and routes around Waterloo. Many drivers receive fines that have valid grounds for appeal.
Bus Lane Cameras in Lambeth
Bus lanes on Lambeth's borough roads are enforced by the council using ANPR cameras. TfL enforces lanes on red routes such as parts of the A23 (Brixton Road). The fine is £130, reduced to £65 within 14 days.
Brixton Road is the single biggest source of bus lane fines in Lambeth. The lane operates during peak hours, and the transitions between restricted and unrestricted sections catch many drivers.

Common Issues and Appeal Grounds
Signage compliance is a strong ground. If signs do not meet the Traffic Signs Regulations, the enforcement is invalid. Worn or missing road markings also weaken the council's case. Turning left across a bus lane to reach a side street is generally permitted.
Emergency situations, breakdowns, and avoiding accidents or obstructions are all valid defences.
How to Appeal
Challenge within 28 days to either Lambeth Council or TfL depending on who issued the PCN. If rejected, London Tribunals provides an independent review.
