Council chiefs have defended the way they have implemented a controversial bus gate on a road in Bristol city centre, which is on course to catch the most motorists of any camera in the country, despite a judge at a tribunal saying the signage was not ‘compromised’.

At the start of August, Bristol Live revealed that Bristol City Council had lost another key case in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal - this time over the signage for drivers who turn onto Cumberland Road and into the bus gate that was installed there just under a year ago.

Now, the council said it has improved the signage at the spot, and said they were ‘pleased to have seen a significant drop’ in the number of drivers getting caught.
