A driver claims that signage for Bristol’s Clean Air Zone is not good enough after receiving a fine for £120. Alan Green from Piling, entered the Clean Air Zone in late January at the Bower Ashton roundabout after coming from the car park via Clanage Road.
While Alan was aware of the CAZ due to the advertising the council had done, he did express how he didn’t expect it to stretch that far out of the centre. He said: “I did know. To be fair to Bristol, they had advertised it, I did know there was a clean air zone. But I didn't expect it to be out in that area.”
After receiving the fine, Alan took his bike and cycled back to where he went into the zone to ‘have a good look,’ and found that there were no advanced warning signs prior to the zone. In the ‘CAZ Framework’ it states that there needs to be advanced signage at the junction prior to the entry point of the clean air zone, and possibly the one before that.
