Exemption permits for school street cameras
Cameras are installed in some school streets in Liverpool to help monitor traffic restrictions designed to make school drop-offs and pick-ups safer. Find out how to apply for an exemption permit if you live or work in a school street with cameras, or are a Blue Badge holder or carer who regularly visits a resident in one of them.

Why are school street cameras installed?
These cameras are installed to help monitor traffic restrictions that make school drop-offs and pick-ups safer.
While these measures help to create a safer environment, they will also reduce congestion, improve air quality, and encourage active travel and healthier lifestyles.
