NOTTINGHAM PUTS ON A NEW COLLAR

A brief outline is given of the peak-hour traffic control experiment being carried out by Nottinghamshire CC's planning and transportation department. A "collar zone" extends for more than two miles on the city side of the ring road in the western part of Nottingham, access to the main roads within the zone being limited by traffic lights. There are restrictions on cars leaving the ring road and entering the inner city area. Car commuters are encouraged to park their cars free at "park and ride" sites and to use buses. /TRRL/
