Sheffield City Centre's Bus Gate? (Arundel Gate)

[YorkieontheTyne 210]

Anyhow, to get this thread back on topic. As The Minerva is now closed, when I come to visit I’m gonna hire a deck chair, make up a flask and some snap and sit on Arundel Gate near the bus gate and watch it leap out and surprise unsuspecting car drivers. What larks.

I've recently noticed there appears to be an ANPR camera that's been sited between Academy and Odeon. Seems to be pointed at the road in front of the bus information centre, just prior to the junction with Norfolk St. 

Presumably this is to capture those who are pulling U-turns (despite the prohibition signage) to circumvent the bus gate

This is getting more exiting by the minute. I could finish up on “You’ve Been Framed”.

The bus gate is a good 200 yards further round the corner isn't it? Plus there is no prohibition driving through it in that direction, it's only from the other way past the casino.

Presumeably it's to stop people from driving up Commercial St, onto Arundel Gate then performing a U-turn (which is prohibited anyway) or turning right (also prohibited) out of the multistorey to then go back down Commercial St.

Exactly where is it and what is it mounted on?

 

I can see a camera on a lighting column opposite the back of the Crucible. Looks more likely to be city centre security to me.

 

That location has never been mentioned for a moving traffic offences camera and as far as I’m aware SCC haven’t installed those yet.

Looks exactly the same as the ones at the Wicker bus gate. 

 

Mounted on a lamppost on the same side as the Odeon, angled toward the junction with Norfolk.

Money making scam to deceive the innocent driver into paying a levy for using a road built for transportation

Paid your fine yet, Mr Magoo?

Good news!

 

The Council are going to install a roundabout at the bus gate (outside the Novotel) to make it easier for drivers to turn back and avoid a fine.

People will still drive through it and claim there isn't enough warning
