Motorists misusing transit lanes on a major Auckland road will soon be caught out by 13 new traffic cameras

Auckland Transport is rolling out new cameras to monitor T3 lanes on Onewa Rd.

Incorrect use of the lanes during operating hours, include having the wrong number of occupants in a vehicle or using them for more than 50 metres to turn.

But Kaipatiki Local Board chairman John Gillon says having 13 cameras on the one road seems like overkill.

He says there was also no community consultation on this, stressing out some locals.

The cameras should be operational from June.
