Parking Bays in London
In many parts of London there are parking bays reserved for certain users. In certain areas parking is set aside for permit holders only -e.g. local residents. Bays are painted on the road and a sign is placed on the roadside. Never park in bays set aside for special users, for example for taxis, police vehicles, doctors, diplomats or the disabled. You may get a parking ticket or be towed away if you park in these bays.
During the controlled times you must not park in permit holders’ bays without a permit. You must find a meter bay and pay the appropriate charges in order to leave your vehicle in the area.
In some areas there are bays allowing parking for permit holders and pay & display parking for visitors. If you are parking in one of these bays during controlled times you must buy and display a pay & display ticket. Controlled times are shown on the pay & display machine. Never park on a meter where the meter shows the words ‘OUT OF ORDER’ in its display.
Do not park in a suspended bay. These are shown either by a yellow notice with the ‘no parking’ symbol positioned by the bay or by a yellow bag placed over the head of the parking meter.
You must park your vehicle entirely within the white bay markings painted on the road. |
