you must park your vehicle so that the wheels are within the white bay markings
you must not leave a large vehicle in front of somebody’s window where it could block light or vision
you must not block driveways or garage entrances
you should be quiet at night (don’t slam doors, talk loudly, rev your engine or play your stereo loudly)
you should not leave your engine running while you are parked (this will help to cut down on pollution)

you cannot park a trailer in a resident parking bay

It is illegal to:

park on the pavement
sleep in your vehicle
