What is a Controlled Parking Zone or CPZ?
A controlled parking zone is an area where parking bays and yellow line restrictions are marked on the carriageway to indicate to motorist where it is safe/unsafe to park. In a CPZ the operational times for the single yellow lines are indicated on the zone entry signs. There maybe single yellow lines that operate at different times and these would be signed separately. Double yellow line restrictions at key locations indicate no parking at any time do not require a sign. However, in the absence of loading restrictions you may stop on a yellow line to load or unload goods for a limited period of time. All parking places are individually signed to ensure that they are fully enforceable. To help reduce the number of new posts required, every effort is made to ensure that signs are placed on existing street furniture, such as lamp columns. In a CPZ the residents, local businesses and their visitors are given priority to use appropriate parking places by displaying a valid permit in respect
