The character of Taunton
The centre around the castle and Fore Street carries short-stay parking and moderate pedestrian priority, with cars generally waiting on one of the surrounding streets. The roads leading out to the M5 junctions are wide and direct. Cricket match days at the County Ground add a concentrated flow of traffic on the eastern side of town through the summer season.

- Cricket match days bring concentrated traffic to the streets around the County Ground.
