Safer School Street Blue Badge Holders Digital Permits

A school street closes a designated area outside of a school entrance to motorised traffic at school drop off and pick up times in the morning and afternoon during school term time. The times of operation for each school street is signposted on entry and exit.

A school street zone is accessible only to pedestrians and non-motorised transport during the times of prohibition, with few exceptions.
