Vehicles that are not eligible

Vehicles driven by residents living outside of a School Streets zone, parents/carers dropping off/collecting children at the school, school staff, friends, tradespeople, and delivery vehicles, and any other non-exempt vehicle will not be permitted to enter the street during the School Streets operational times.

We will consider granting special exemptions on a case by case basis. Please see below for acceptable reasons to apply for exemption to a School Streets zone.

If you are a resident or business inside a School Street zone and have a Hackney residents parking permit registered to your vehicle(s), your vehicle(s) will automatically be exempt from that School Street zone.

You need to submit a School Streets exemption application form for your vehicle(s) if you:

• have moved into a School Street zone
• live inside a School Street zone and have recently changed your vehicle
• live inside a School Street zone but you do not possess a resident parking permit – for example, if you use off-street parking

If you do not meet the above criteria, you may still be able to apply for a special exemption if:

• you, or a dependant, are a Blue Badge holder who needs vehicle access to a property in a School Street zone, including the school
• you are a carer who needs vehicle access to a property in a School Street zone

Ensure you have checked if you’re eligible for exemption:

School Streets do not operate during school holidays or at weekends.

Pedestrian and cycle zone signs are placed at the entry/exit points of each School Street zone.

Additional enforcement methods exist on a case by case basis. This may include the use of physical barriers and/or automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras that issue penalty notices.

All vehicles already parked in a School Street zone before the times of operation will be able to leave.

Yes, Transport for London (TfL) buses are automatically exempt from all School Streets zones in Hackney and will continue to operate as they usually do.

There are very few instances where TfL bus routes interact with School Streets in the borough.

Hackney School Streets are implemented through an experimental traffic order for a maximum period of 18 months.

This trial period provides the opportunity to see how the scheme works in practice.

New School Streets will be reviewed 9 months after implementation and, if deemed successful, can be made permanent by the introduction of a permanent traffic management order.

The road should be visibly calmer, safer and cleaner during the operation times.

We will work with schools to collect data on how pupils and staff travel to school.

We will also consider other data collection methods, such as monitoring traffic flows and speeds, taking air quality readings, etc.

Yes, exemptions are available for school transport operators who require access to a School Streets zone in order to pick up or drop off a pupil.
