The UK Government has introduced new measures to address issues faced by drivers, including penalties for councils not consulting locals on low traffic zones and 20mph limits. Penalties may include funding cuts and loss of enforcement powers. Additionally, warnings have been issued to drivers with expired licenses and those not following driving rules, risking fines.

Good news! Councils will be obliged to consider whether residents support the implementation of a Low Traffic Neighbourhood before they're introduced. New guidance has also been issued on 20mph limits I’ll be discussing with @JuliaHB1 @talktv 10.40 am https://t.co/2erRP8Z76d
Tough penalties, including funding cuts and loss of enforcement powers, are to be introduced by the Government for councils flouting new local support requirements in low-traffic zones. https://t.co/68hSty2VS6
🚗 Councils that ignore local opposition to low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) and 20mph zones could be stripped of their powers to issue penalties under a new Government plan for drivers that could also see them lose funding https://t.co/5V2GOU7qQk

The Government has a Plan for Drivers that we’re getting on and delivering. Labour hammer drivers wherever they’re in power: in Wales with blanket 20mph limits & a ban on road building, while Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ expansion is taxing the poorest drivers off the road in London. https://t.co/Dct9l7ws3A
