Introduce a national car park and toll zone offer to auto-pay

Open for signatures 15 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on the Government to introduce a national car park and toll zone offer to opt-in to an auto-pay register, charging registered drivers automatically instead of requiring individual payments, which, if missed, can lead to fines.
ANPR can be used to identify vehicles using a car park, LEZ, toll or bridge, public or private. Currently used to catch non-payment, at penalty rates — with no equivalent system to make paying easy. We ask Government to introduce a national opt-in payment register linking a plate to a card or wallet. Any operator using ANPR to enforce payment must be required to accept it: registered vehicles are then auto-charged the standard rate, no penalty issued. Non-registered vehicles remain enforceable as now.
