Drivers have been warned they will face new restrictions in part of Coventry city centre from Monday.
Cars will be banned at certain times of the day on streets by Broadgate and the cathedral, which form part of a new pedestrian and cycle zone.
The zone covers Cuckoo Lane, Greyfriars Lane, Hay Lane, High Street, Pepper Lane, Priory Row, St Michaels Avenue, Trinity Churchyard and part of Bayley Lane.
Drivers will be unable to use these roads between 10:00 and 18:00 Monday to Saturday, unless they have a permit or are exempt.
The restrictions have been brought in under an experimental traffic order and will be reviewed after 18 months.
Vehicles exempt from the new rules include buses, hackney carriages and emergency services, as well as residents who have permits.
Drivers who have properties within the area and do not have a permit can apply for one, the order said.
The restrictions are part of Coventry City Council’s plans to cut down on traffic and improve safety, access and amenity.
Other changes coming into force on Monday include a no entry rule barring access to High Street from Little Park Street.
There will also be a ban on driving down part of Bayley Lane by the guildhall and cathedral.
