Autopay would have added to the technical complexity.</p><p>The Clean Air Zone Framework makes it clear that “as a minimum requirement, there must be traffic signing strategies in place along major access routes and at entry points to clearly delineate the zone, and alternative routes for those who wish to divert around it.” More than 300 signs have been installed by Birmingham City Council on the road network surrounding the boundary of Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone to inform drivers they are approaching the zone.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 10/02/2022 09:25:21 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
