Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Surveillance cameras are to be used for the first time to film drivers making illegal manoeuvres at busy yellow-box junctions, it was announced yesterday. Three junctions in London are to be monitored in the pilot project in an attempt to cut down on accidents and delays.
Motorists caught breaking the law will face an instant pounds 20 fine, or can contest the case in court, where the maximum penalty is pounds 1,000 if they lose. The scheme is aimed at preventing drivers from entering box junctions when the exit is blocked. This often causes a traffic jam as vehicles become trapped in the centre. Police also want to deter people from making illegal right- and left-hand turns and U-turns, all of which can cause accidents. The system will operate along junctions on the A501 in west London in the Euston and Baker Street areas.
