Red Routes

 

Red routes were in introduced by Transport for London (TFL) several years ago. As part of a strategy to keep traffic moving. Red routes are controlled and enforced by transport for London as opposed to the local authorities in which the roads are situated.

Red routes have red lines at the side of the carriageway as opposed to yellow lines. Whereas yellow lines mean no Waiting - Red lines mean no stopping.
