Controlled parking zones (CPZs)?

A controlled parking zone is an area where there are restricted parking places only.

The hours when this applies are shown on large signs as you enter the zone.

We mark all roads where parking is not allowed with yellow lines.

Single yellow line restrictions normally have the same times of control as the controlled parking zone and the sites are therefore not individually signed.

There is no parking allowed at any time on double yellow lines.

Where restrictions apply at different times to the zone hours, then the parking area will display its own individual time plate.

Waiting is prohibited at all times within an area indicated as a Restricted zone.

Do parking restrictions apply on bank and public holidays?

Yes, restrictions do apply.

Controlled zone entry signs show that the hours of restriction are 8.30am to 6.30pm or 10pm, Monday to Friday, and 8.30 am to 1.30pm or 6.30pm on Saturday. These restrictions still apply on bank and public holidays with the exception of residents’ parking and pay and display bays. Read more about yellow line restrictions on Bank and Public holidays.

Waiting is prohibited at all times within a Restricted zone area.
