Parking schemes, restrictions & legislation

There are many different types of parking restrictions in Brighton & Hove. We have produced a number of guides below about the restrictions, giving information such as who can park there, whether the restriction applies on bank holidays and much more.

• Parking Bays including permit, shared use, pay and display, disabled bay and motorcycle bays
• Yellow lines including zigzags and pavement/verge parking
• Other types of bays  such as car club bays, loading bays and ambulance bays
• Lines across private accesses (white return lines)
• Suspensions and how to suspend a parking restriction
• Electric vehicle charging points
• Double parking and dropped footways
• The rules on loading or unloading
• What to do if your vehicle has broken down

If you do not obey a parking restriction you may receive a penalty charge notice. Take a look at our top 10 tips for avoiding a Penalty Charge Notice.

If you see a vehicle parked where it should not be you can report it to us.

Other information you may find useful is the Highway Code and Know your traffic signs.
