Drivers heading to Bristol Airport from outside of the city have said they ‘feel mugged’ after signs directing them to the airport led them off the M5 motorway and into Bristol’s new Clean Air Zone.
And Bristol Live can reveal, despite Bristol City Council asking for warning signs about the CAZ alongside the motorway signs for the airport, the Government itself said they were not needed.
Drivers heading to Bristol Airport from South Wales, Gloucestershire, the Midlands and from Wiltshire and the M4 are still being directed off the M5 at junction 18, the exit for Avonmouth, and then down the A4 Portway. It is only when those motorists are on the Portway and heading to Bristol that the first sign warning them they are approaching the Clean Air Zone appears.
