New details have revealed where many roads will be blocked off in east Bristol as part of a new ‘liveable neighbourhood’ trial. Motor traffic will be banned from driving through several roads in Barton Hill, Redfield and St George from this autumn.
The liveable neighbourhood trial is aiming to reduce rat-running and through-traffic through residential areas, making it easier and safer to walk and cycle. Bristol City Council has now published a map detailing exactly where new restrictions will be brought in.
Results of the trial will be evaluated before a permanent scheme is introduced early 2025. If successful a second liveable neighbourhood could be created covering parts of Bedminster, Ashton and Southville.
