Pedestrian Area
Cheapside, Corn Market, part of Crown Street, Russell Street and Southgate form part of the Halifax town centre pedestrian area.
- Vehicle access to this area is restricted.
- This is to help make the town centre a safe, secure and attractive place for pedestrians.
Access
No vehicle can enter between 10am and 4pm daily, unless exempt.
Vehicles are permitted access between 4pm and 10am for loading/unloading purposes only.
Deliveries - loading and unloading
- This must be carried out before 10am or after 4pm. (Access will be restricted from 9.30am, to make sure vehicles have time to unload and exit the area before 10am.)

Bollards
To help manage vehicle movements within the area, there are rise/fall bollards. These are in place to restrict access.
- They will always be raised. At times they may be lowered due to a fault or for maintenance, but access is still restricted.
- Access is given through the intercom system. Please be patient, the operator may be dealing with another request at another location.
Important: Once access is given, wait for bollards to be fully lowered before driving over them, do not tailgate. Cameras monitor the area and any damage to bollards, due to not waiting will be charged to the vehicle owner.
