6,500 drivers fined over Games lanes
SOME 6,500 drivers were fined for using the Olympic lanes.
The 30 miles of restricted road in London were brought in on July 25 and for the first six days only warnings were issued.
But after that the £130 fines realised £845,000, though there was 98 per cent compliance.
Garrett Emmerson, of Transport for London, said: “Games lanes were vital to get athletes, officials and the media to events on time.”
The Paralympic route network involves just 8.7 miles of lanes.
