The character of Dewsbury
The centre around the Market Place and Minster is compact, with cars holding on the surrounding streets rather than in the square itself, particularly on market days when stalls take up much of the space. Wakefield Road and Halifax Road carry most through-traffic and can back up at peak times. The approach from the M1 via Ravensthorpe is straightforward and generally the fastest route in.
- Cars hold on the streets around the Market Place rather than in the square itself.
- Market days reduce standing space in the centre through the morning.
- The M1 approach via Ravensthorpe is generally the fastest route into town.
- Business pickups on Wakefield Road use the office forecourts where permitted.
