We answered
TfL Ref: EIR-2640-2324
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 24th October 2023 asking for information about ULEZ cameras and signs on Pampisford Road, CR8. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“Could I please request information as to where ulez cameras and signs are situated on the whole of Pampisford Road CR8”.
I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
In regard to signage, note that Pampisford Road is located fully within the ULEZ zone and therefore does not require entry signage and does not have any “In Zone Repeater” signs. We clearly sign the boundary and place signs well in advance of the boundary to give people the option to avoid the zone and advise them that they are about to enter it. Once signs have been passed it is the drivers responsibility to check what charges are due and ensure they are paid. All of the information drivers need to comply with the scheme – include a map and postcode checker – can be found on our website here: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone
In regard to the location of cameras, this is information is excepted from release in order to protect the ULEZ enforcement infrastructure from vandalism (noting that release of information under the EIR is considered to be to the world at large rather than the individual applicant). The information is therefore being withheld under Regulations R12(5)(a) – “international relations, defence, national security & public safety” (in this instance specifically public safety); regulation 12(5)(b) – “the course of justice, the ability of a person to receive a fair trial or the ability of the public authority to conduct and inquiry of a criminal or disciplinary nature” (in this instance specifically the course of justice); and regulation 12(5)(e) – “confidentially of commercial or industrial information where such confidentiality is provide by law to protect a legitimate economic interest.” The rationale for this is explained in more detail in a published response to a previous information request which is available on our website here:
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely,
