21/08/2026 - Oxford trial traffic filters: addition of magistrates' permit and removal of driving test centre permit

Addition of new permit type

 

Additional permit allowing travel through the traffic filters locations for unpaid magistrates serving at Oxford Magistrate’s Court.

 

Free permit, managed by the court and applicable only on up to 30 days per magistrate per year in line with estimated sitting days provided by the court.  Can only be used by magistrates travelling to or from the court.

 

Removal of permit type

 

The driving test centre permit added under a delegated decision in July 2026 has proved administratively unworkable for the test centre and in agreement with DVSA the permit will no longer be offered.
