Consultation ends on new ANPR traffic cameras
PAA consultation into new automated number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras for a dozen new locations in Kent will end on Tuesday.
Kent County Council (KCC) has said the cameras are needed to enforce yellow box junctions and reduce congestion.
The consultation began on 9 December, with two of the sites being junctions 1A and 1B of the A282 near the Dartford crossing, and six separate locations in Maidstone.
Other sites would be in Ashford, Canterbury, Dover and Margate.
Peter Osborne, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "When drivers block yellow box junctions, it causes congestion and delays across local roads, disrupting daily journeys.
"Your feedback will help us make informed decisions that improve traffic flow and reduce delays for everyone."
As well as the A282 in Dartford, the other proposed sites are:
- Ashford, North Street and Somerset Road
- Canterbury, Wincheap and Thanington Road
- Dover, Maison Dieu Road, Park Street and Godwyne Road
- Maidstone, High Street, Fairmeadow and Bishops Way
- Maidstone, Loose Road and Plains Avenue
- Maidstone, Sutton Road and Loose Road
- Maidstone, Bearsted Road and the Eclipse Park
- Maidstone, Fairmeadow and Earl Street
- Margate, Marine Terrace, Marine Gardens and Eaton Road.
