Visit our Moving Traffic Enforcement page for general information about schemes in Peterborough, plus how to pay or challenge Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs).
This scheme launched on 5 August 2024.
Restriction details
Church Street is inside the city centre pedestrian zone, any authorised traffic exits this zone via Church Street onto Cowgate. Both Cowgate, Church Street and Cross Street are one way, therefore no entry signs are placed where Cowgate meets Church Street so that traffic cannot enter the city centre pedestrian area in the wrong direction.
A no right turn sign on Cross Street gives advance warning that you can only follow the road to the left into Cowgate, and not turn right into Church Street.
Why enforcement required
A number of vehicles are regularly driving the wrong way on Church Street in order to access the city centre pedestrian area. These vehicles are putting pedestrians in danger by entering an area they are not permitted to be in, but also driving in a direction against the flow of other authorised vehicles.
Signage
The following signage is in place.
Maps
The maps below show where the signage is placed on Church Street and the location of Church Street in the city centre.
Rules
No motorised vehicle should be caused to proceed in a direction passed the no entry signs. A contravention will be committed, and enforcement action taken if a vehicle is seen passing the no entry signs.
