Parking and traffic restrictions

Where you can and cannot park, traffic signs, signals and restrictions, illegal parking and fines, controlled parking zones, resident parking zones, traffic exclusion zones and moving traffic enforcement.

In this section:

Resident permit zones and parking bays

A resident parking zone is an area where parking controls protect the needs of:

  • residents
  • their visitors
  • local businesses

Entry signs are in place at the zone entry points. In some cases zones are designed with marked bays and other cases the bays.

Permit holder parking bays

Permit holder bays are available to:

  • residents
  • visitors
  • business permit holders

Permits allow you to park only in a specific zone. The bays are signed with time plates to indicate ‘permit holder’ exempt for the relevant zone. 

Unless you hold a permit for the relevant zone, you cannot park in these spaces.

The days and times of these restrictions are indicated on the time plates next to the bays. Outside of these times, the bays are available to anyone.

Blue Badge holders are generally not allowed in permit holder only bays but can be used in shared use bays.
