A CPZ is an area where parking controls are in place at specific times.

You will know when you are entering a CPZ because there will be large street signs on the way in.

These signs will tell you:

  • which zone you are entering
  • the hours when parking is restricted
  • when waiting is not allowed on single yellow lines

Further signs near particular parking restrictions will repeat this information.

When they’re in operation

Each CPZ has different operational hours. 

Some have different time restrictions for different parts of the zone.

Markings

Kerbsides will be marked out with:

  • yellow line restrictions, or
  • as permit holders only, or
  • as pay and display parking

Only vehicles with valid parking permits are allowed to use the parking bays during the  operating hours of the CPZ.

Vehicles may not stop on yellow lines during the operating hours of the CPZ. They can stop for a limited time to load or unload goods at all other times
