Bristol CAZ — Inner Zone Boundary Error

Bristol CAZ has a defined inner zone boundary that does not include all of central Bristol. PCNs are sometimes issued to vehicles passing close to but not within the boundary, due to ANPR camera placement on perimeter roads.

Legal basis

Bristol CAZ Order — Designated Boundary; TSRGD 2016

How to identify this in your case

Map of trip vs CAZ boundary shows the vehicle was on a perimeter road outside the official CAZ.
