Well I'm looking at the photograph right now, and there's no illuminated trailer, and barely visible/small signs. Trailer must have been there for the initial implimentation? I guess I just wasn't expecting the restrictions and was driving far to complacently. Beautiful day, roof down, sun in my face, blah blah! Haha. As per the original post, I'm not bothered, just curious when the restrictions came into place, which has been answered.

Thanks for the input, but definetly not looking for sympathy, so please don't feel too bad for not offering any! Pmsl. thumbup
I've seen a few people doing it. Don't think it's that well signposted but probably well enough that you wouldn't have a leg to stand on disputing it. If I hadn't been warned I'd have got the fine too!

I think trailer went up during first week of camera operation moved beginning of this week

What is really confusing is when you drive through in evening when the restriction is not in force you feel guilty

Bizarrely there are 24hr bus lanes in Glasgow, and many people have been zapped by them; quite how congestion is being eased by fining people for driving in the bus lane on Maryhill Road at 2AM is not clear to me. Peak hours is one thing, but this is taking the piss.

Mental. just flippin mental.

Surely this is proof that it is purely for raising funds?

These bloody things are part of the reason I stay away from Glasgow to be honest, also I find the road markings a bloody nightmare to read as you enter from Glasgow Central side.
