That's a common sight in Auckland on the T2/3/4 lanes; Capturing evidence of people abusing Bus/Transit lanes.

P5 = Parking 5 minute bay. I think you mean T2 / T3 transit lanes like in Auckland?

Although these chaps are at the north end of Willis Street facing south, no one's looking to see if any cars are heading into the bus lane from behind them.

Perhaps they're in the middle of a project to make up a presentation to WCC, pitching themselves as the right crowd to do traffic enforcement for them?

I was guessing that they were trying to trap drivers, but I can't remember a time that I have actually seen any cars coming from that direction?? Seems like a pointless exercise. Would be interesting how many cars there ticked today.

I've seen the odd car go down there but I would doubt the revenue would cover the cost.

Maybe they should be checking the speed of the buses too... supposed to be 30km/h, usually isn't. I suspect you would need a more covert camera though, and the bus drivers will be able to see those fluro vests pretty easily.

can "Parking Enforcement"  prosecute  moving violations? I would not have thought so,

Linuxluver: ... In Auckland, ... 

Linuxluver: ... usually you can enter the bus lane from 50 metres before the next intersection if you need to turn left. No point putting the camera there....as people are entitled to be in the bus lane.

Suspect like AKL it falls under use of special lane, where they outline $150 fee for doing so. https://at.govt.nz/driving-parking/parking-rules/types-of-infringements/
