Hillingdon Council was asked in August 2026 to list every camera-enforced bus lane and bus gate it runs and named four (freedom of information request FOI 05675, answered 21 August 2026): Coldharbour Lane in Hayes, Yeading Lane in Yeading, and two points on Uxbridge Road. The Broadway is not among them, so no council camera enforces this lane — the restriction itself still applies.
The Broadway is the continuation of Uxbridge Road through Hayes, though, and two of the council’s four cameras are on Uxbridge Road, so one of them stands on the adjoining stretch.

Got a PCN here?
London Borough of Hillingdon's own list of camera-enforced sites does not include this one, so a camera PCN from this location would be unexpected — check the notice carefully and make sure it names the road you were actually on. If it does, it is still £160, reduced to £80 within 14 days, and our step-by-step appeal guide covers the grounds that actually win. The restriction itself is not optional: the traffic order is in force and the police keep their own power to act.
Frequently asked questions

The Broadway Bus Lane in Hillingdon operates 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday; 10am to 6pm on Saturday. Outside these hours, general traffic may use the road normally.
How much is the fine for driving through The Broadway bus lane?
London Borough of Hillingdon issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £160, reduced to £80 if paid within 14 days. There are no penalty points — it is a civil penalty.
Who is allowed to use The Broadway bus lane?
Buses, black cabs (hackney carriages) and pedal cycles are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, lorries, private hire vehicles and motorcycles.
Can I appeal a PCN from The Broadway bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to London Borough of Hillingdon first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If London Borough of Hillingdon rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators at London Tribunals. Its adjudicators are lawyers independent of the enforcing authority, and their decision is binding on both sides. The grounds that win here are that your vehicle was not in the bus lane during its operating times shown above, that it was an exempt vehicle, or that the signage did not make the restriction clear. Note that paying the £80 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
