From today onwards TfL is able to charge utility firms up to £2,500
a day for working in congested areas and at busy times of the day.

The scheme covers over 200 miles (57 per cent) of the TfL road network,

covering the areas most susceptible to major roadwork disruption.

TfL is not exempt from the rules and the new scheme will also
ensure that their works are delivered with minimal disruption.

200 miles suggests this will apply only to Red Routes. That will be
better than nothing but for this policy really to work, it needs to be
enforced on all major roads. I wouldn't object to it applying to quiet
residential streets as well.

TfL's writ only runs on Red Routes, surely?
