Critics, including a local councillor, question whether confusing signage is driving penalties rather than rule-breaking, especially after Preston Manor School alone racked up 12,000 fines. The council defends the scheme, citing legal signage, added warning signs, and a review showing lower child casualties, more walking and cycling, and cleaner air. While revenue could hit $11 million, officials insist the program’s real win is safer streets and healthier air—despite the fine-tastic fallout.
