Restricted parking zones

Restricted parking zones are areas where parking restrictions apply, but no yellow lines have been painted.

We might choose a restricted parking zone instead of a controlled parking zone:

• to improve the appearance of the street 
• because the road surface makes using paint impractical or inappropriate

We use signs instead of road markings to explain the restrictions. The zone entry sign indicates the times when parking and loading is prohibited.

Parking bays within a restricted parking zone may be marked with paint, have different surface materials or have road studs. Upright signs will give details about the use of the bays.

The old streets north of Borough Market, centred around Clink Street, have been designated as a restricted parking zone. This allowed us to remove intrusive double yellow lines and to improve the visual environment for residents, businesses and visitors.
