  • 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
