We will be spending a few days at BW soon, it's about 12 months since our last visit and I understand there have been changes to the traffic flow near the site.

The web page for BW advises reading the driving directions by clicking on a map tab - I can't find a map tab, where are the directions?

I believe that you cannot leave the site by turning left but I would like to know if you can now get to the site from either direction.

I had hoped there might be some directions in an email confirming the booking but I've not received one!

Can anyone please enlighten me, thanks.

David

    You can arrive at the site from either direction now that most of the work has been completed. You just can’t leave by turning left out of the site, not unless you want a hefty fine. There is a bus gate just beyond the turning to the Great Britain, which is covered by a camera to photograph you if you try.

    Just to mention, the picture in  TW’s post is the old site web page, not the new one. This can be access by typing Baltic wharf into the search (magnifying glass top right of all but the new site pages)

    Is the Baltic Wharf Site subject to Bristol’s LEZ? OP will need to know if visiting.

    Yes it is and is mentioned on the site web page.

    information on both driving directions and LEZ is also available on thebefore you travel page.

    Scroll down and select Baltic Wharf.

    Thanks for all the replies I have now found it but I had to go into a different  page for BW by a different route. The page I was initially looking at did not have the "View on Map" shown in the image in TWs reply.

    I typed Drive in a Clean Air Zone and a government website invited me to put my car registration in to see whether I would  have to pay. It told me that for my car I would have to pay £9 to go in and another £9 to come out.

    No. £9 per day when  driving in the clean air zone. Not £18.

    Only if the car is registered as being used by a disabled person, i.e. it is modified to accommodate a disabled person and is exempt from vehicle excise tax (road tax) Much the same with some car parks which charge if you are a blue badge holder and not resident in the local area.

    It is very much higher if your registered as an HGV i.e. a motorhome over 3.5 tons. Minimum charge for my motorhome is £50 (I assume per day) In Bristol it is £100 so you can well image there is no way I will go to sites located in any LEZ.
