Peak District Red Routes Rolled Out With Bank Holiday Enforcement On Hold

The council says the change safeguards emergency access.

Overview

  • Derbyshire County Council says the new double red lines near Castleton and Mam Tor are not enforceable until the markings, signs and checks are complete.
  • The pause follows weather delays to the lining work, so the bank holiday weekend will pass without red route enforcement.
  • Existing yellow lines in Castleton remain enforceable, while any newly added yellow lines will not be enforced until works finish.
  • The red routes ban stopping at any time for all drivers, including taxis and Blue Badge holders, with a £70 penalty cut to £35 if paid within 14 days.
  • Local campaigners report some drivers already ignoring the lines and warn only visible wardens will change behavior.
