11.3
Where pedestrian zone signs include the "no motor vehicles" roundel, the zone is now referred to as a "Pedestrian and cycle zone" to help improve understanding of the difference between the "no vehicles" and "no motor vehicles" roundels. This applies to both the zone entry and end signs. It does not apply to any waiting restriction signs within the zone. Former diagram 618.2 is no longer prescribed as a separate sign, but is now a permitted variant of the zone entry sign where the bottom yellow panel is omitted. Permitted variants for the middle panel now apply equally whether or not the bottom panel is omitted. Previously, the sign to former diagram 618.2 had fewer exceptions than the sign to diagram 618.3 and was intended for zones that did not have any waiting restrictions. The legend "Except for access" prescribed by the TSRGD 2002 for a variable message sign (VMS) only (diagram 618.3A) may now be used whether or not it is a VMS.
11.4
Guidance on the signing of pedestrian zones is given in Chapter 3 of the Traffic Signs Manual.
Charging Zones
11.5
Signs for congestion charging zones are prescribed for the first time. These are based on signs and road markings previously authorised.
11.6
New signs to diagram 818.6 and 818.7 are placed on the approach, with diagram 818.6 being the first advance sign and diagram 818.7 being the second sign. Where a particular traffic lane at a junction leads directly to the entrance to a charging zone, the advance warning road marking to diagram 1069 may be placed.
11.7
The point at which the zonal restriction commences is signed by diagram 677 or 678, and may also be placed in conjunction with the road marking to diagram 1068.
11.8
Reminder signs to diagram 894 may be placed within the zone.
11.9
The exit from the zone is indicated by the sign to diagram 679.
