Work have started sending me over there so thought i'd ask on here if anyone who knows the area can tell me about all the different road time restrictions and zones etc? Anything to be aware of?
Did a job in CB1 area yesterday and then another in Hinxton so went down the Mill road onto Babraham Road and saw a sign saying limited access onto Worts Causeway which got me thinking.It kind of depends where in Cambridge - the centre has a few one-way systems (like any historic city, I think) but other than the restrictions on Bridge Street, various rising bollards etc. I don't think there's anything hugely complicated. There are always loads of cyclists. As jpaul said, Milton Road is currently wretched.
Are you needing to drive in the centre or is it more the outskirts / science / business parks?
parking in the centre is pricey if you cant expense it, the centre has some areas you cant get by car. I know of 1 part time bus only road at peak times but generally its not a hard place to drive in esp with satnav (nothing like London, Manchester or Birmingham)Work have started sending me over there so thought i'd ask on here if anyone who knows the area can tell me about all the different road time restrictions and zones etc?

I think they're talking about closing the upper part of Mill Road (from Parkside to the railway bridge) to through-traffic, again. Either way, Mill Road is usually one to avoid as a driver, unless you specifically need to drive to one of the roads off it.Did a job in CB1 area yesterday and then another in Hinxton so went down the Mill road onto Babraham Road and saw a sign saying limited access onto Worts Causeway which got me thinking.
Provided you avoid busy areas at rush hour (Mill Road, Parkside area, Chesterton Road, Milton, Trumpington) it's fine IMO, like any modern UK city with an historic centreIt's awful and Cambridge council hate cars, or most things actually which the University doesn't want...
