A controlled parking zone is an area where priority in the use of available parking space at designated times is given to residents through a permit system. Many Councils charge for these permits, to cover administrative costs.
The most appropriate types of location for a controlled parking zone could be in residential areas where homes do not have the benefit of off-street parking facilities. These might be:-
-
In town centres
-
On the outskirts of shopping areas
-
Near to large educational or medical establishments
-
Near to places of entertainment.
