Auto news; Road cops ‘powerless’ Councils, not police, now responsible for enforcing road signs.
Traffic police are being forced to turn a blind eye if motorists ignore road signs which ban cars, U-turns and other illegal manoeuvres.

That’s because the boys in blue “no longer have the legal power to enforce some moving traffic offences”, according to
the Metropolitan Police.

This power now lies with Transport for London and local councils instead. However, a police spokeswoman added that officers could still intervene under general powers “where driving is blatantly of a poor standard or endangers other road users”.
