Controlled parking zones (CPZs)

What a CPZ is 

A CPZ is an area where you can only park for free during certain times.

How to park in a CPZ 

To park on a road in a CPZ during CPZ hours, you must have a parking permit or buy on-street parking. If you do not, you may get a penalty charge notice (PCN – parking ticket).

Permits allowing you to park in a CPZ at any time include resident permits, business permits and 1-day tradespeople or landlord permits (known as ‘permission to park’ permits).

See all parking permits.

For on-street parking, see RingGo parking.

Bank holidays

You can park for free on bank holidays in most CPZs. Search for the road, see if it’s in a CPZ and check the details.

Visiting someone who lives in a CPZ

If you want to visit someone who lives in a CPZ:

• the person you’re visiting can buy visitor permits so you can park near their home
• you can park for a short time in a 'pay by phone' bay using RingGo

See what the parking bay signs look like.
