Leicester is well-known for road safety; it was the first city in the UK to have traffic lights and wardens. Unfortunately, it also has the most traffic lights in any UK city, so you can expect to spend time in queues if you travel by car. There are some streets where normal traffic is prohibited, including Thurcaston Road, Charles Street, Bonners Lane, Fox Lane and Cank Street, so make sure you plan your route to avoid fines for entering a restricted area.

Driving in cities like Leicester puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Leicester for all these crucial components.
