New plans which aim to improve road safety near a Lancaster supermarket have been approved.
The initiative - which will see Lancashire County Council given new powers to stop drivers attempting dangerous manoeuvres – is set to be rolled out next summer.
Following a six week consultation for road users and pedestrians to share their feedback on the plans, the powers will now be introduced at four locations across the county, including at Morecambe Road, near Aldi in Lancaster.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology will be used to identify drivers.
In line with Government requirements during the first six months of enforcement, warning notices will be issued for a first offence which allows the council to engage directly with drivers to educate them to the contravention that they have committed.
A contravention results in a Penalty Charge Notice of £70 being issued with a 50% discount if paid within the first 21 days. By taking on these powers, the council will be able to provide a more robust and effective enforcement provision on locations that cause concerns for residents and highway users.
A spokesperson for Lancashire County Council said: "The majority of these support what we hope to achieve. It's a priority for us to keep our roads safe, keep traffic moving and do what we can to minimise emissions.
"We will issue first-offence drivers a warning letter to ensure that people understand the scheme, which is very much focused on putting safety first, as well as dealing with traffic delays.
"We are hoping that if this initiative is successful, it could be rolled out at other locations across the county which suffer from a poor safety record. Any additional sites would each undertake the same consultation process before it was rolled out to them in the future."
