Traffic filter signage

Traffic filter locations are marked by road signs.

The blue signs indicate that you are 80 yards (73 m) from a traffic filter. At this point, you can change your route to avoid it.

The yellow signs on both sides of the road mark the traffic filter. If you pass these signs in a car without a permit, you may be fined. 

Below are images of both signs.

image showing traffic filter signs. the first says "authorised vehicles only 7am to 7pm 80 yards ahead. Traffic enforcement cameras." The second sign reads "No cars 7am to 7pm except buses, permit holders TF and lorries. Traffic enforcement cameras."

Map of permit areas

There are two permit areas for Oxfordshire residents. These permit areas determine the type of free resident permit you can apply for. 

If you live in one of these permit areas, you can apply for a free permit (day passes).

You do not need to know which permit area you live in. When you create an account or log in, the system will show you the permit for your address.

The two maps below show the two permit areas and the permit type you can apply for.

Oxford permit area (blue area) - 100 free day passes

Oxfordshire permit area (yellow area) - 25 free day passes
