Case Study

Project at a Glance

Havering Council needed a modern enforcement solution to improve road safety, tackle moving traffic contraventions, and support the borough’s transport objectives. TES supplied Small Blue ANPR cameras to enforce bus gates, banned turns, yellow box junctions, and restricted areas with high accuracy and reliability.

Key Points:

    The Challenge

    Havering faced ongoing issues with moving traffic contraventions across key parts of the borough. Bus gates, banned turns, and restricted zones were frequently misused by unauthorised vehicles, creating congestion, safety risks, and operational challenges for the council.

    The council required an enforcement system that could:

    • Capture accurate evidence of contraventions
    • Operate reliably in varied roadside environments
    • Reduce pressure on manual enforcement teams
    • Integrate with back-office case processing
    • Improve compliance to support safer, more efficient road networks

    The TES solution

    TES supplied the Small Blue fixed ANPR camera system, a VCA Type Approved enforcement solution capable of capturing high-quality video and stills across a wide range of moving traffic contraventions.

    Key features provided to Havering:

    1. Multi-contravention Enforcement

    Small Blue cameras enable enforcement of:

    • Bus gates
    • Banned turns
    • Yellow box junctions
    • Prohibited or restricted areas
    • Other moving traffic offences under council jurisdiction

    2. High-Quality Evidence

    The cameras deliver clear imagery and metadata, supporting the creation of strong, defensible cases.

    3. Seamless Back-Office Integration

    Captured evidence integrates with existing back-office systems and workflows, enabling efficient review, processing, and issuance of Penalty Charge Notices.

    4. Reliable Roadside Operation

    Small Blue’s proven hardware design allows for dependable enforcement even in challenging roadside conditions.

    The Results

    The deployment of Small Blue ANPR cameras has strengthened Havering’s moving traffic enforcement, reducing non-compliant behaviour and improving the safety and flow of key routes. The reliable evidence generated by the system supports faster case handling and contributes to maintaining a safer borough road network.

    Key Outcomes:

    • Improved compliance across enforced routes and junctions.
    • Reduced dangerous and non-compliant driving behaviours.
    • Enhanced evidence quality for strong, defensible PCNs.
    • Increased operational efficiency for enforcement teams.
    • Supports safer, better-managed road networks across Havering.

    Client Impact

    Havering now benefits from a dependable enforcement solution that delivers consistent results and helps the borough maintain compliance across critical locations. The TES Small Blue cameras provide the evidence and reliability needed to manage increasing traffic pressures effectively.
