Home Zones
Home Zones are residential streets in which the road space is shared between drivers and other road users with the wider needs of residents (including people who walk and cycle, and children) in mind. The aim is to change the way that streets are used and to improve the quality of life in residential streets by making them places for people, not just for traffic.
Further information and guidance on Home Zones and similar traffic calming measures is available from the Department's Traffic Management Advisory Leaflets section.
