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.
