Disabled parking and Blue Badges

Disabled parking - on street parking

If you display your Blue Badge correctly, parking is free in the following (with no time limits):

disabled parking bays
pay and display bays (if there are no local Traffic Orders in force specifying a time limit)
in all limited waiting bays

If you display your Blue Badge correctly, with the clock set to show the time of arrival, you can park on single or double yellow lines if:

you don't park for longer than 3 hours
there are no loading restrictions
you don't cause an obstruction
you don't park within 10 metres of a junction

A Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) will be issued to any driver disobeying these restrictions.

Disabled parking - on street parking in resident permit holder areas

When parking within a resident only controlled parking zone (CPZ), please check the signage to ensure you can park in the parking bay with your blue badge.

There are some bays which have the word "disabled" written on the road, however these can only be used providing you have a valid resident permit, or resident's visitor permit, for that zone in addition to displaying your Blue Badge correctly.

Displaying your Blue Badge alone does not allow you to park in these bays and a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) will be issued to any driver disobeying these restrictions.
