To maintain Nottingham's popularity and to
continue attracting new visitors to our City
Centre, we need an environment that is
pedestrian-friendly and free from pollution and
congestion.
All but essential traffic is excluded from the
Clear Zone during the middle of the day. This
means that in certain areas access will only be
allowed at particular times, some routes will be
converted into pedestrian streets and only buses,
taxis, blue badge holders and trams will be
allowed into the Clear Zone.

Trams
NET is Nottingham's state-of-the-art tram
system.  It runs from Hucknall, through Bulwell
and Hyson Green and into the city centre,
terminating at Nottingham railway station.  There
is also a line to Phoenix Park (just off the M1
at junction 26).
There are two extensions currently in
development Chilwell via Queens Medical Centre
(QMC) Beeston, and Clifton via Wilford.

Along the tram route, there are 23 stops with
five free Park and Ride sites (Hucknall, Moor
Bridge, Phoenix Park, Wilkinson Street and The
Forest).  In the city centre, there are stops at
Royal Centre (for the Theatre Royal, Royal
Concert Hall and The Cornerhouse), Old Market
Square, in the heart of Nottingham and Lace
Market, for the National Ice Centre and
Broadmarsh shopping centre.

The Nottingham tram provides high class public
transport that is quick, frequent, reliable and
accessible. The trams feature 100 low floors
with no steps onto or within the vehicles and a
range of features designed to help NET to be easy
to use for everyone.
NET trams are also closely linked with Nottingham
City Transport (NCT) buses offering 'cityrider'
bus/tram day tickets, EasyRider smartcards and
two Bulwell link bus routes.  Conductors are on
board every tram to take fares and help you in
whatever way they can.
