Police in Newport have warned motorists they will issue £30 fixed penalty notices to anyone caught driving or parking illegally in bus lanes. Officers have noticed that drivers are using bus lanes in the city centre as shortcuts during rush hour congestion, particularly in Emlyn Street. Now Newport Central neighbourhood officers plan to observe problem roads and punish impatient drivers who break the bus lane rules. Sergeant Colin Thomas said: "Some people are trying to escape heavy traffic in the city centre by breaking the law. This has been causing problems and is proving a hindrance to buses, therefore we will issue fixed penalty tickets to anyone caught using bus lanes. We will actively put officers in problem areas to catch the offenders."
