Salisbury Traffic Management

Funded by UK Gov

 

 

 

Salisbury is benefiting from multi-million-pound investment to create a vibrant and sustainable city centre in the future. To get an idea of the schemes this significant investment is supporting please visit the Investing in Salisbury webpage.

As more than one scheme will be on site at any one time, there will be some disruption to road users, residents, businesses and visitors. This webpage will help explain the traffic management arrangements that will be put in place and will be regularly updated to reflect the changes to these arrangements and the progress of the various schemes.

City centre car parks

There is a mixture of long and short stay car parks in Salisbury which are available for use when visiting the city. We would encourage visitors to continue to follow the existing signed routes to enter/exit the car parks around the city.

With the works currently taking place for Salisbury River Park there are a reduced number of spaces in Central Car Park. We recommend visitors should seek to enter/exit Central Car Park via the A36. 

Culver Street car park is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and has recently benefitted from additional investment. Culver Street is covered by city centre CCTV and is conveniently located with direct access from the A36 which means drivers can avoid the city centre traffic. With the expected increased demand for car park spaces over the Christmas period, the top floor of the car park has been reopened and is also available for use.

Bus services

Wiltshire bus users can now travel on most routes in the county for just £2 or less for a single fare until the end of December 2024.

As part of the promotion, many single bus fares in Wiltshire have been capped at just £2 for both adults and concessions. If the single fare was originally less than £2, it will remain at the reduced price, and many day return tickets have also been reduced.

The £2 maximum fare will increase to £3 from January 2025
