## Resource

Leicester City Council is cracking down on traffic chaos by turning key inner ring road sections into red routes—starting early July 2026—with no stopping allowed on Burleys Way, St Matthews Way, and St George’s Way. The move aims to slash congestion, boost journey times, and tackle dangerous parking. First fines are $70, halved if paid within 21 days. Enforcement will rely on a new CCTV-equipped patrol car, not fixed cameras. Roadwork begins June 22, with overnight hydroblasting of old lines and new signage—expect noise and lane closures. This connects existing red routes, creating a seamless traffic-free corridor to make city travel smoother for everyone. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
