Why Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) are needed
CPZs are in areas where heavy parking has created the need for extra measures, particularly around railway and underground stations that attract commuter parking.

How CPZs work
The zone entry signs show the hours of the waiting restriction (parking ban).

The Department of Transport stipulates that if possible, all waiting restrictions should be the same within a CPZ so that time plates are not needed within the zone in addition to the entry signs. Similarly there are exit signs when leaving the CPZs.

Examples:

However, if some of the restrictions apply during other periods (e.g. during peak hours or at all times), time-plates will be required for the relevant lengths of road and road markings will correspond.

 

 

You are only allowed to park in the zones during operating hours.

 

You have to park within the markings of a bay and display a valid Resident's or Business Permit. There should be an information plate nearby that states if a specific permit is required (i.e. Resident Permit Holders only or Business Permit Holders only).

A Resident's permit or a Visitor's Parking Card (scratch card) can also be used in the Resident Permit Holders bays relevant to the CPZ.

There are different permits for CPZs; they are:

 

• Resident permit
• Business Permit
• Special permit
• Carer permit
• Community Health Permits
• Visitor's Parking Cards

To find out more about how to apply for and renew a permit, and how to use the permits, refer to our Controlled Parking Zone in Enfield leaflet.
