I was there this morning. There are spaces for Blue Badge holders on High Street, but they are currently unusable due to road works (and have been - and will be - for some time, by the look of it). I've tweeted a picture, here:
https://twitter.com/pigsonthewing/status/1508829197933948930 There are alternative (but few) spaces for blue badge holders in Dale End, Albert Street and New Meeting Street. To access the spaces in High Street, exempted (i.e." blue badge") vehicles CANNOT enter Moor Street Queensway from The Priory Queensway. They must go via Dale End, down (i.e. eastbound along) Albert Street, right onto MSQ then right into Carrs Lane. Egress from High Street is via Dale End. The "Pedestrian and cycle zone - except Blue Badge [and other exceptions]" sign on MSQ is still in situ. How should the permitted route be tagged? What about tagging the parking spaces? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk On Tue, 29 Mar 2022 at 14:05, Brian Prangle <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Andy > > Don't recall seeing any BB spaces there but the whole place is a mess with the tram roadworks and the data is probably a mess too -I gave up on trying to fix it after so many people editing trying to interpret the bus gates.
