A number of "School Streets" have been introduced in Oxford — one of them here — with traffic restrictions during two time periods, in the morning and afternoon, except residents and some other categories.

For more info: https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/roads-and-transport/school-streets

I think the restrictions can be represented with:

motor_vehicle:conditional=permit @ (08:00-09:00; 14:30-15:30)

Times vary depending on zones. We also need to identify the exact extent of the zones. Street names are listed on the website above (the whole street, or are signs in specific points?).

Technically, restrictions only apply to inbound traffic. If we wanted to be pedantic, maybe it could be represented with motor_vehicle:forward:conditional=* or motor_vehicle:backward:conditional=* on the specific access points, but perhaps the simpler solution to the whole road is better.

These roads (and Baltic Wharf too) are now designated as School Street(s), according to the County Council website. In other words, there are now additional restrictions around school opening and closing times, which should be signposted on the roads already.

Need to find the road extents, then tag the relevant bits of road with the tags we decide on.
