A council in the UK made a road change this week that collected almost $19,000 of fines in the first hour, causing outrage among local motorists.
Birmingham City Council, as first reported by The Metroconverted well-used thoroughfare Sheepcote Street into a bus only road, in effect from Monday morning.
Traffic cameras then photographed 177 drivers between 7am and 8am who went through the road, presumably not realising that the conditions had changed.
Each faced a penalty of £60, adding up to a tidy £10,620 ($18,992) of revenue racked up in just one hour.
The council notified the change on its Facebook page over the weekend, and the bus lane is painted red with "Bus Lane" written in large letters at the start of the street.
