Revenue from road network compliance income’ hit just under 90 million last year , up from 57 million five years ago .

Revenue does not include income from people actually paying the congestion charge or the ULEZ charge.

TfL is only responsible for fines on London ’s 367 miles of “red routes”.

London traffic cameras are networked and automated, and all use Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology.

This is a basic form of the same kind of AI system that now powers ChatGPT and other cutting-edge AI systems.

TfL does have some cameras set up with more advanced AI , some of them experimental, but these are more about predicting and monitoring traffic flows and looking for incidents.
