School Streets Initiative

The School Streets Initiative has been operational on Lawrenny Avenue since September 2023.

What is a School Street?

School Streets are restricted streets (or zones) in areas around busy schools that can only be accessed by permits holders, pedestrians and cyclists for part of a day, usually during peak school hours. They operate before and after school pick and drop off times, during school term times.

  • School Streets are put into place using a legal process called a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). TROs are the restrictions placed on the Highway that direct, control and prohibit vehicle movements.
  • Signs are used to show that School Street restrictions are in place. Lights on the signs show during restricted times.
  • Vehicles already within the ‘School Street’ area during restricted times can leave at any time; the restrictions apply to entry only.
  • Enforcement cameras will be used to monitor vehicles entering during these times and drivers without permits may receive a fine (Penalty Charge Notice - PCN) of £70.

The times for the School Street Initiative on Lawrenny Avenue are:

8:15am – 9:15am

2:30pm – 3:45pm

Walking Bus

We are very proud of the fact that we provide a Walking Bus for all pupils, which leaves the Lidl car park at 8:40am every morning. An agreement between the Local Authority and Cardiff City Stadium is in place which allows parents and carers to park in the stadium car park, free of charge.
