Pay attention to the road signs! It’s a place designed to extract money from motorists. Note that if you drive through the centre, the signs with kettle you into a restricted access and you will get a fine! I know this from bitter experience and and fortunately won the challenge at appeal
Well the road we are on has double yellows and we parked where they finish. Edited by W12GT on Friday 7th July 15:25

Cambridge council is at war with the car. Not worth the fight.
The council collect business rates from the business's in Cambridege, yet they dissuade visitors there?I live 20mins from cambridge, and CAN confirm that I've heard many Huntingdon dwellers say they'll never go there again.
Expensive parking, and fines.
If I go I use the guided bus from St Ives. It's a good service.

So, we parked on Adams Road. All day. For Free. 0.4 miles from the faculty of History. We owned Cambridge.
Bossed it!If Balfour Jr. is offered a place, and accepts it, I can see it being a PITA logistically. Learning Chinese will also be required, to communicate with 90% of the people there.

Chinese people have bought into Cambridge in a big way this past 20 years.BUT, but, but, the degree to which the Uni is a spectacle for tourists is really off-putting. I get it, but I am sure some of them think they are visiting the real Hogwarts.

I love Cambridge and think it’s a beautiful place but every time we mention going we think of the hassle involved and end up somewhere else

Have a look here and you will see what I mean - half a dozen of them. Plus a fair number of other enforcement cameras. Some locations it is very easy to get t without realising it at the time….
