About this map

Green streets sit outside every controlled parking zone, so parking there is free at any hour. Blue streets are in a zone and free outside its hours: choose “Pick a time” to see which. Yellow lines, signs and road markings always override this map.

Search an address, street, postcode or town. House and flat numbers, short forms such as Rd or Gdns, and small slips in spelling all work. Where several streets share a name, each shows its postcode district: add it to the search to pick one, as in “Park Road M33” or “12 Park Road, M33 7NS”.

Please note: this map is for general guidance only. Councils can change parking zones, hours and yellow lines at any time, and the information here may be out of date or wrong, so always check the signs and road markings before you park. We accept no responsibility for any parking ticket, penalty charge, clamping, towing or other loss that comes from using this map.

How it was made

Start with every residential street. 83,689 street segments from OpenStreetMap, 10,540 km in all.
Take out parking zones. Zone boundaries for most boroughs, council street lists for the rest, and all of Islington and the City, which are zones end to end.
Take out other restrictions. Private roads, Royal Parks roads and no-parking tags. Sutton and Bromley publish their yellow lines, so their streets are checked kerb by kerb.
What's left is free all day. Zone streets are free outside their hours, and the key's “Pick a time” adds them. Grey streets couldn't be checked yet.

Borough	Data	Free km	Free

Free km counts streets with no zone found, including Sutton streets with some yellow lines. Select a borough to go to it.

What's next

Ask Croydon for a current zone layer with hours (its maps date from 2008 to 2021), Waltham Forest for its zones as data rather than a PDF, and Richmond for its street lists as data instead of one look-up per street. The Healthy Streets Scorecard coalition also holds a May 2025 zone map of all 33 boroughs built from council data, which could be used to cross-check them if they agree to share it.
Get reuse permission for everything that isn't open data: the layers read from council maps (Brent, Enfield, Greenwich, Hounslow, Lewisham, Redbridge, Southwark), the zones traced from Croydon's and Waltham Forest's PDF maps, Wandsworth's street finder, and the consultant and staff copies (Barnet, Harrow, Haringey, Barking and Dagenham). Ask for fresh copies of the old layers (Hillingdon 2013, Kingston 2021, Lambeth 2022).
Add yellow lines everywhere. Sutton and Bromley show they change the answer. Ask councils for their traffic-order line data (Bromley released its under FOI), and switch to the DfT's D-TRO feed as boroughs join it.
Remove private and unadopted roads using each council's adopted-highways register. Barking and Dagenham already publishes one.
Let drivers confirm or flag a street, and show the date each borough was last checked.

Portsmouth

Added 24 Oct 2026. Every street in the city that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 3,633 stretches of road (472 km) from OpenStreetMap.

231 km (49%) are free all day, 75 km of them with some yellow lines. 160 km are in one of the council's 47 residents' parking zones; 76 km of that is in zones that run 24 hours, where parking without a permit is limited to an hour or two, or not allowed at all. 5 km have time-limited or paid bays, free outside their hours. 32 km are no parking, mostly double yellow lines. 45 km are grey: main roads the traffic order couldn't settle, unnamed roads, fast roads on Portsdown Hill and a few pay and display streets.

The zones come from the council's zone pages: the shape drawn on each zone's map decides which streets are in it, and the zone's road list fills any gaps. Yellow lines and bays come from the council's consolidated traffic order of May 2022, read street by street. Changes made since 2022 aren't in it, so treat those parts as a guide and go by the signs.

Hatfield

Added 24 Oct 2026. Every street in Hatfield, the town council's area, that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 1,230 stretches of road (161 km) from OpenStreetMap.

41 km (26%) are free all day. 50 km are in one of the borough council's 29 resident permit zones, B01 to B30, where you need a permit while the zone is in force. 22 of the zones run on weekdays only, five also on Saturdays and two every day, mostly from 8 or 9am to 5 or 6pm, so most of them are free in the evening and at weekends. 1.0 km are private roads or marked no parking. 68 km are grey: 33 km of main roads and 30 km of fast country lanes, where yellow lines and laybys decide, plus a few short streets that sit among zone streets but aren't on any list.

The zones and their hours come from the council's parking permit areas page, and every street on a zone's list is shown in that zone. Where a zone takes only part of a street, the house numbers or junctions in the list decide which part. The borough's parking order draws its yellow lines on plans that aren't published, so a street shown as free can still have yellow lines at junctions: go by the signs.

Welwyn Garden City

Added 24 Oct 2026. Every street in Welwyn Garden City that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 1,359 stretches of road (167 km) from OpenStreetMap.

117 km (70%) are free all day. 21 km are in one of the borough council's 23 resident permit zones (AK, AV and A01 to A21), mostly around the town centre and the station, where you need a permit while the zone is in force. All of them run in the daytime on weekdays or Monday to Saturday, so they're free in the evening and on Sundays. 27 km are grey: 21 km of main roads, plus unnamed and fast roads and a few short streets that sit among zone streets but aren't on any list.

The zones and their hours come from the council's parking permit areas page. Where a zone takes only part of a street, such as Parkway's sections between particular junctions, the junctions in the list decide which part. Yellow lines aren't published here either, so go by the signs.

Potters Bar

Added 24 Oct 2026. Every street in and around Potters Bar that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 507 stretches of road (80 km) from OpenStreetMap.

23 km (29%) are free all day. 32 km are in one of Hertsmere Borough Council's seven permit zones: J, JA, K, KA, L, M and N. Zone N runs Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6.30pm, and zone KA Monday to Friday, 1pm to 2pm. The council hasn't published the other zones' hours, so on those 22 km the card says to check the signs. 4 km have single yellow lines for set hours, mostly North Potters Bar's 1pm to 2pm lines. 20 km are grey: main roads, a few pay and display streets and unnamed roads.

The zones come from the council's 2022 parking charges notice, which lists each zone's streets with permit parking places. A street on that list may only have bays in parts, with yellow lines elsewhere, so go by the signs.

Birmingham

Added 24 Oct 2026. Every street in the city that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 20,385 stretches of road (2,653 km) from OpenStreetMap.

2,170 km (82%) are free all day. 83 km are in the city centre's controlled zones: the Inner and Outer zones, the Jewellery Quarter, the Gun Quarter, Eastside, Digbeth and the Irish Quarter, St Marks and Ladywood. There you can only park in marked bays; in all but St Marks anyone can pay to stay up to 4 hours while the zone is in force (Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm or 7.30pm, and every day in the Inner zone), and the bays are free outside those hours. 15 km are in 17 small residents' permit schemes around the city, from Sutton Coldfield to Northfield, each with its own hours. 14 km around Villa Park are controlled on Aston Villa home match days only. 59 km are private roads or marked no parking. 313 km are grey: 280 km of main roads, plus unnamed and fast roads.

The city-centre zones come from the council's own zone map, and Digbeth's and Aston's from the council's scheme drawings, fitted to the streets: a street is in a zone when most of it lies inside. That map draws Eastside as a thin strip along Woodcock Street, so the Gosta Green streets of the older orders the Eastside zone replaced (Holt Street, Aston Street, Lister Street, Love Lane) are added to it, and the few streets left between the outlines are grey. Hours come from the council's zone pages and permit leaflets. The residents' schemes are the streets each leaflet names; where only some house numbers qualify, OpenStreetMap addresses place them, or the card says only part of the street is in the scheme. Yellow lines outside the zones aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions: go by the signs.

Wolverhampton

Added 24 Oct 2026. Every street in the city that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 5,691 stretches of road (763 km) from OpenStreetMap.

683 km (90%) are free all day. In the city centre, 6.6 km of streets inside the ring road have pay and display bays, charged every day from 8.30am to 6pm (zones 1 and 2); the other 4.2 km inside and along the ring road are grey, because most city-centre streets have yellow lines, loading bays or pedestrian areas. The council's only permit schemes are around New Cross Hospital, where 4.4 km are in the New Cross Area controlled parking zone, with pay and display bays and permit holder bays every day from 7am to 8pm, and around the Molineux, where 12 km are in the match-day zone, controlled on Wolves home match days and advertised events only. 5 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. Besides the city centre, 47 km are grey: 36 km of main roads, plus unnamed and fast roads.

The pay and display streets come from the council's lists of its zone 1 and zone 2 machines, kept to their stretch inside the ring road. The New Cross zone's streets are the ones drawn on the council's map of the zone, and the match-day zone's come from its road list, with the streets added in January 2025. That list also names Cannock Road's numbers 33 to 181, on the A460 main road, which this map doesn't draw. Yellow lines outside the zones aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions: go by the signs.

Manchester

Added 24 Oct 2026. Every street in the city that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 11,129 stretches of road (1,321 km) from OpenStreetMap.

1,055 km (80%) are free all day. 42 km are in the city centre's controlled parking zone, inside the inner ring road, where you can only park in marked bays: anyone can pay to stay 2 to 10 hours depending on the zone, every day from 8am to 8pm, and the bays are free in the evening, overnight and on bank holidays. 1.2 km are in the Britannia Basin zone in Castlefield. 111 km are in the council's 13 residents' parking schemes, from Ancoats, Miles Platting and Eastlands around the Etihad to Hulme, Moss Side, Rusholme, Withington and Crumpsall, each with its own hours: most run in the daytime on weekdays, Eastlands from midday to 11pm every day, and Loxford Street in Hulme and Shadowmoss by the airport at all times. Without a permit you can usually still park in their marked bays for 90 minutes to 3 hours. 2 km in Rusholme's district centre have time-limited bays all week. 15 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 94 km are grey: 82 km of main roads, plus unnamed and fast roads and a few streets between zones.

The city-centre zones come from the council's zone maps, and most residents' schemes from the area drawn on each scheme's map: a street is in a scheme when most of it lies inside. Eastlands comes from the street-by-street map of its traffic order, and Rusholme and Moss Side from the streets and hours listed in its consultation, so where the final scheme changed a detail, go by the signs. Yellow lines outside the zones aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions.

Salford

Added 24 Oct 2026. The whole City of Salford: Salford itself with Pendleton, Broughton, Ordsall and the Quays, plus Swinton, Pendlebury, Eccles, Monton, Walkden, Worsley, Little Hulton, Irlam and Cadishead. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 7,390 stretches of road (799 km) from OpenStreetMap.

643 km (80%) are free all day. 2.5 km are in the Blackfriars and Trinity controlled parking zone next to Manchester city centre, where you can only park in marked pay and display bays from 8am to 6pm on weekdays and 8am to 12.30pm on Saturdays (some newer bays charge every day until 8pm). 22 km are in 17 residents' permit schemes, from the Hope scheme around Salford Royal and the Strawberry Road, Monton, Eccles and Swinton schemes to Walkden and the Quays, each with its own hours. For 10 km of them the council doesn't publish the hours, so those streets show as zones with hours not known. 6 km around Salford City's ground in Kersal are controlled on home match days only. 11 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 116 km are grey: 98 km of main roads, plus unnamed and fast roads.

The schemes' streets come from the council's permit schemes guidance, and their hours from the schemes' traffic orders on the council's website and, for the Hope scheme, its 2003 and 2004 orders. The controlled zone is traced from the council's map of it. A few listed streets aren't in OpenStreetMap yet (Allendale Road, Meadow Court, Salford Rise, St James Close, Upper Gloucester Place). Yellow lines outside the zones aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions.

Stretford

Added 24 Oct 2026. Stretford with Old Trafford, Gorse Hill, Firswood and Trafford Park (the ONS built-up areas of Stretford and Old Trafford): 1,767 stretches of road (187 km) from OpenStreetMap, main roads included.

114 km (61%) are free all day. Around the Old Trafford football stadium and the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground, 25 km are in event-day permit zones: on match and concert days, parking there is for permit holders from 2 hours before the start until 1 hour after the end, and signs at the entrances show the dates. Right next to the stadium, 1.1 km in Gorse Hill zone A are for permit holders at all times. In Stretford town, 1.3 km are in residents' permit zones J and E. Chorley Street and Warwick Road have pay and display bays. 5 km are private roads or closed to traffic. 40 km are grey: 28 km of main roads, plus unnamed roads, mostly in Trafford Park.

The event-day zones come from Trafford Council's map of them, and zones J and E from its traffic orders. Yellow lines outside the zones aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions.

Prestwich

Added 24 Oct 2026. Prestwich (the ONS built-up area): 580 stretches of road (88 km) from OpenStreetMap, main roads included.

79 km (90%) are free all day. Bury Council's only residents' scheme here is on Highfield Road, where the bays either side of Highfield Place are for permit holders from 8am to 8pm every day. 1.8 km are marked no parking. 7 km are grey: 6 km of main roads, plus unnamed roads. Yellow lines aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions.

Sale

Added 24 Oct 2026. Sale with Sale Moor, Brooklands and Ashton upon Mersey (the ONS built-up area of Sale): 1,260 stretches of road (165 km) from OpenStreetMap, main roads included.

129 km (78%) are free all day. 19 km are in 13 of Trafford Council's permit zones. Zone R covers 4.6 km in and around the town centre: its bays run Monday to Saturday until 8pm in the middle, until 5pm on Harley, Linley, Sefton and Symons Roads, and on weekdays from 9am to 5pm south of the centre around Dane Road. Zones D and F near the centre and L off Green Lane run every day until 8pm or later. The rest, from zone K in Sale Moor and Y at Brooklands to X in Ashton upon Mersey and AJ north of the centre, run on weekdays only, mostly 9am to 5pm (Y until 6pm). In many zones anyone can still park in the bays for 1 to 3 hours. 0.4 km have pay and display bays outside the zones. 1.9 km are private roads or marked no parking. 16 km are grey: 14 km of main roads, plus unnamed roads and a few streets between zones.

Trafford doesn't publish its permit zones as lists or maps, so each zone's streets and hours are read from the council's waiting and parking orders: the 2001 Order as consolidated in 2006, its amendments from 2006 to 2012 (held by the Traffic Penalty Tribunal) and those from 2016 to 2026 on the council's website. Orders made between 2012 and 2016 aren't published, so a zone or change from those years may be missing, and some zones take only the bays named in the orders: go by the signs.

Urmston

Added 24 Oct 2026. Urmston with Davyhulme and Flixton (the ONS built-up area of Urmston): 1,061 stretches of road (133 km) from OpenStreetMap, main roads included.

115 km (86%) are free all day. The only permit area in Trafford Council's orders here is the Trafford General parking scheme, area AB, on 2.7 km of streets around Trafford General Hospital in Davyhulme and Flixton: past the signs at its entrances, parking is for residents with permits from 9am to 5pm on weekdays. Urmston's paid parking is in its three council car parks, so no street has pay and display bays. 3.0 km are private roads or marked no parking. 13 km are grey: 12 km of main roads, plus unnamed and fast roads.

As in Sale, the permit area comes from the council's waiting and parking orders (here its Amendment No 194 of 2017). Yellow lines aren't published as data, so a green street can still have them at junctions: go by the signs.

Liverpool

Added 24 Oct 2026. The whole city of Liverpool, from Speke and Garston to Walton, Fazakerley and Croxteth. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 11,122 stretches of road (1,438 km) from OpenStreetMap.

1,006 km (70%) are free all day. 64 km are in the city centre's controlled parking zone, where from 7am to 11pm every day you can only park in marked bays: in the inner zone anyone can pay to stay up to 4 hours (5 hours after 6pm), and in the outer zones around it the bays are shared pay and display or for permit holders, while the Baltic Triangle has 2-hour bays and no residents' permits. From 11pm to 7am the bays are free. Around Anfield and Goodison Park, 120 km are in the football match zone's 32 permit zones: permit holders only from 10am to midnight every day from August to June, though some streets also have free bays; in July the zone doesn't run. Around the new Everton stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, 40 km are in its permit areas: most run 10am to midnight every day, Great Homer Street from 8am, and Esk Street, Juniper Street and Blackstone Street on event days only. Everton West's new permit area, 11 km, has been permit holders only at all times since 21 October 2026. 54 km are in the other permit areas, from Kensington and the Phythian estate to Fazakerley, Alder Hey, Broad Green and IM Marsh; for 39 km of them the council doesn't publish the hours, so those streets show as zones with hours not known. 12 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 130 km are grey: 95 km of main roads, plus unnamed and fast roads and streets inside the stadium scheme or football zone that the permit lists leave out.

The streets in each zone come from the council's lookup of streets in permit zones. The city-centre and football zones' outlines come from their boundary sign plans, and the stadium scheme from the council's map of it, each lined up with OpenStreetMap. The city centre's 7am to 11pm hours started in 2025; its bays come from its traffic order as varied to 2022, so a few may have changed since. Yellow lines outside the zones aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions.

Bristol

Added 24 Oct 2026. The whole city of Bristol, from Avonmouth and Henbury to Hartcliffe and Stockwood. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 10,483 stretches of road (1,159 km) from OpenStreetMap.

850 km (73%) are free all day. 140 km are in the council's 15 residents' parking schemes and 3 permit parking areas, mostly around the city centre from Clifton, Cotham and Redland to St Pauls, Easton, Southville and Bedminster. Most run 9am to 5pm on weekdays (Southville also on Saturdays); Kingsdown, Cliftonwood and Hotwells, Spike Island and Redcliffe run 9am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday, and the southern parts of Clifton Village and Clifton East until 9pm. In them the bays are for permit holders, or shared, where anyone can pay and display, mostly for up to 3 hours. None run on Sundays or bank holidays, except the permit areas at Edward Road and Chatsworth Road and in Bower Ashton, which apply at all times. In the city centre's Central Parking Zone, 21 km of streets have pay and display bays, charged every day from 8am to 10pm: up to 1 hour in the central zone and 2 or 4 hours in the outer zone before 6pm, with no limit in the evening, and free from 10pm to 8am. 22 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 125 km are grey: 97 km of main roads, 12 km of city-centre streets without pay and display bays, and unnamed and fast roads.

Each scheme's outline, and the signs on each street, saying what its bays are for, their hours and maximum stay, come from the council's Pinpoint map; each scheme's hours from its page. Southville's signs are recorded as running until 7pm, but its page and the council's February 2025 charges notice say Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, so the map uses those. The council is consulting on new schemes in Totterdown, Windmill Hill and elsewhere in south Bristol, a matchday scheme near Ashton Gate and new hours for Southville and Bedminster East; none is in force yet. Yellow lines outside the schemes aren't published, so a green street can still have them at junctions.

Bradford

Added 24 Oct 2026. The whole Bradford district: Bradford itself, Shipley, Bingley, Keighley, Ilkley, Haworth and the villages between. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 13,801 stretches of road (1,942 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Bradford Council publishes a map of the yellow lines and bays in its traffic orders, so here each street is classed by what is on its own kerb. 1,179 km (61%) are free all day with no lines on the map, and 347 km more are free apart from some yellow lines or bays, mostly at junctions. 75 km are mostly double yellow lines. 72 km have permit holders' bays: in Bradford's inner suburbs, Ilkley, Steeton by Airedale Hospital, Wyke, Bingley, Shipley and smaller schemes elsewhere. The map gives the hours for only some of them, so 55 km show as permit zones with hours not published. In Bradford city centre 6 km of streets have pay and display bays, charged every day from 8am to 10pm (most for up to 2 hours before 6pm), and in Ilkley 6 km, charged every day from 8am to 8pm. 86 km have time-limited bays or single yellow lines. Around Odsal Stadium a few streets are for permit holders on match and event days. 161 km are grey: fast roads, main roads with few lines on the map, and unnamed roads.

A street counts as a permit or pay and display street when at least a tenth of its kerb, or 30 m, is in those bays. Lines and bays come from the council's map of current orders: a recent change may not be drawn yet, and the signs on the street always override it.

Leeds

Added 25 Oct 2026. The whole Leeds district: the city itself, Morley, Pudsey, Horsforth, Otley, Wetherby, Garforth, Rothwell and the villages between. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 23,251 stretches of road (3,001 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Leeds City Council has published its traffic orders as open data: each yellow line and bay drawn along the kerb, and each permit parking zone drawn over its streets. So, as in Bradford, each street is classed by what is on its own kerb. 2,153 km (72%) are free all day with nothing in the orders, and 243 km more are free apart from some yellow lines or bays, mostly at junctions. 83 km are mostly yellow lines. 53 km are in permit parking zones, where only permit holders may park (34 km of them at all times): around the university and Woodhouse, in Burmantofts and Richmond Hill, Weetwood, Headingley, Horsforth, Calverley and Farsley, Pudsey, Beeston and Holbeck, Garforth and smaller schemes elsewhere. 30 km more have permit holders' bays. In and around the city centre, 18 km of streets are in the council's nine on-street pay and display zones: the central ones charge Monday to Saturday from 8am to 10pm and on Sundays from 10am to 10pm, with stays of up to 2 hours on weekdays in the short-stay zones; the outer ones, from Holbeck and Hunslet to Woodhouse and Mabgate, charge Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm and are free on Sundays. 64 km have time-limited bays or single yellow lines. Near Elland Road a few streets are for permit holders on match and event days. 336 km are grey: 213 km of main roads, plus fast and unnamed roads, city-centre streets the orders don't cover, and 1.7 km where the orders had pay and display bays that the council's current list leaves out.

The orders are the version the council published in April 2018, the latest it has released as open data, so anything changed since is missing: a permit zone or yellow lines added in the last few years won't show, and a few may have gone. The city centre's pay and display zones, their streets and hours come from the council's current prices page instead. A street counts as a permit or pay and display street when at least a tenth of its kerb, or 30 m, is in those bays. The signs on the street always override this map.

Luton

Added 25 Oct 2026. The whole borough of Luton, from Leagrave, Lewsey and Limbury to Stopsley, Wigmore and the airport. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 3,379 stretches of road (475 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Luton Council doesn't publish its permit zones as maps or as lists of streets by zone. It does list the streets in its resident permit zones on its permit page, and the streets and hours of its on-street pay and display tariffs. 341 km (72%) are free all day. 59 km are permit streets. For the High Town zone (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm), Park Town (Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm), Luton Hoo (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) and one smaller zone, the hours come from the council's traffic order notices. For the rest, 53 km, the council doesn't publish the hours, so they show as zones with hours not known; its parking strategy says most run Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm. 26 km have pay and display bays: in the town centre and Bury Park, Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm, mostly for up to 2 hours; in High Town mostly Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm; and shorter stretches in Leagrave, on Marsh Road and on Toddington Road. Many of these streets also have permit holders' bays. 5 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 44 km are grey: 28 km of main roads, 5 km of town-centre streets that neither list covers, 3 km in the middle of zones that the permit list leaves out, and unnamed and fast roads.

Long roads on the permit list, such as Dallow Road and Old Bedford Road, are shown as only partly in a zone, near its other streets. The council doesn't publish its yellow lines, so a green street can still have them at junctions. The signs on the street always override this map.

Cambridge

Added 25 Oct 2026. The City of Cambridge, from Chesterton, Arbury and King’s Hedges to Cherry Hinton, Trumpington and Eddington. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 3,307 stretches of road (354 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Cambridgeshire County Council runs the city’s on-street parking. 209 km (59%) are free all day. 52 km are in its 23 resident parking schemes, in the older streets around the centre, from Castle, De Freville and Milton to Newnham, Petersfield, Tenison, Morley and Coleridge. Their hours differ: many run Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm; Kite, Newtown, Park, Brunswick and Staffordshire run every day until 8pm; Milton runs on weekdays from 9.30am to 3pm, Benson North on weekday mornings and Newnham every day from 11am to 2pm. In six of them, the permit parking areas (21 km), only permit holders may park anywhere in the area during those hours; in the rest, the residents’ bays are for permit holders. 19 km have pay and display bays by one of the council’s 185 or so machines, each with its own prices, hours and maximum stay: most charge Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm, those in and around the centre from 8.30am to 6.30pm, and many in the centre and the west also on Sundays. 7 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 68 km are grey: 36 km of main roads, 12 km of streets in a scheme that the council lists as having no permit parking or leaves off its lists, 5 km of city-centre streets, and fast and unnamed roads.

A street is in a scheme when it lies in the scheme’s outline on the council’s map and on the scheme’s list of streets. Single yellow lines in a scheme can keep different hours from its bays, shown on the signs where you enter it. The city-centre streets on the West Cambridge scheme’s list are grey: their residents’ permits are for bays in West Cambridge, and the historic centre is closed to most traffic from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday. A street counts as pay and display along the stretch within about 80 m of a machine on it. The council doesn’t publish its yellow lines, so a green street can still have them at junctions. The signs on the street always override this map.

Brighton and Hove

Added 25 Oct 2026. The whole city of Brighton and Hove, from Portslade and Hangleton to Patcham, Woodingdean and Rottingdean. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 4,614 stretches of road (645 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Brighton & Hove City Council publishes its traffic orders as a map: each yellow line and bay drawn along the kerb, with each bay’s zone, days and times. So, as in Leeds and Bradford, each street is classed by what is on its own kerb. 181 km (28%) are free all day with nothing on the map, and 87 km more are free apart from some yellow lines or bays, mostly at junctions; nearly all are outside the parking zones. 60 km are mostly yellow lines. 171 km have permit holders’ bays in the council’s 28 parking zones, from Portslade and Hove to Kemptown, Hanover and Preston Park. Most zones run every day, 9am to 8pm (Goldsmid Monday to Saturday, Preston Park station north and Preston Village on weekdays); the light-touch zones, 63 km of them, run for an hour or two a day, such as West Hove (every day, 11am to midday and 6pm to 7pm) and Hove Park (weekdays, 9am to 10am and 1pm to 2pm). 59 km are pay to park, in shared or paid bays, at the prices on the council’s zone pages: most zones charge the low tariff, from £1.80 for an hour to £9.50 for 11 hours; central Brighton charges up to £5.90 an hour, and the seafront more in summer. In Coldean and Moulsecoomb, by the Amex stadium, 26 km are free except on match and event days, when you need an event day permit. 14 km have free time-limited bays or single yellow lines. 8 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 39 km are grey: fast, unnamed and main roads with few lines, and 13 km of streets inside a zone where the map shows no permit or paid bays.

Zone 14 in South Hollingdean started on 13 April 2026 and its bays aren’t on the council’s map yet, so its streets’ hours come from its traffic order. A street counts as a permit or pay and display street when at least a tenth of its kerb, or 30 m, is in those bays. The map shows the orders as the council has drawn them: a recent change may not be on it yet, and the signs on the street always override it.

Nottingham

Added 25 Oct 2026. The City of Nottingham, from Bulwell and Bestwood to Clifton, and from Wollaton and Bilborough to Sneinton and St Ann’s. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 8,380 stretches of road (864 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Nottingham City Council publishes its residents’ parking places, pay and display bays and other bays as open data, each drawn along the kerb with its times, so each street is classed by the bays on its own kerb. 464 km (54%) are free all day, with no permit or paid bays in the data. The council’s yellow lines and time-limited bays aren’t open data, so they aren’t used; its penalty notices are, and on 54 km of streets it has fined people for parking on yellow lines since January 2025, so those show as free but with some yellow lines. 169 km have residents’ parking bays, in the council’s 160 or so schemes across the city, from the Arboretum, Lenton and Radford to Sherwood, Mapperley, Wollaton and Clifton. For most of them, 159 km, the data gives no hours, so they show as permit zones with hours not published; on many, the penalty notices show permits being checked in the evening or on Sundays too. Where the data gives hours, most run Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm or 9am to 5pm. 18 km have pay and display bays: 10 km in the city centre’s three on-street zones, charged every day from 8am to 10pm at £3, £2 or £1 an hour, with no maximum stay; the rest mostly in shopping streets and by hospitals and industrial estates, at the council’s area prices. 7 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 152 km are grey: 22 km of city-centre streets with no bays in the data, 73 km of main roads, 9 km where penalty notices show permit or time-limited bays that the open data leaves out, 45 km that aren’t on the council’s map of the roads it maintains (private and unadopted roads, such as the university campus, The Park estate and some newer estates), and unnamed and fast roads.

A street counts as a permit or pay and display street when at least a tenth of its kerb, or 30 m, is in those bays. The council doesn’t publish its yellow lines as open data, so a green street can still have them at junctions. The signs on the street always override this map.

Towns around Nottingham

Added 25 Oct 2026. Ten towns around Nottingham, in Nottinghamshire County Council’s area: West Bridgford and Ruddington; Beeston, Stapleford, Kimberley, Nuthall and Eastwood; Arnold and Carlton; and Hucknall. Every street that has homes or parking on it in their built-up areas, main roads included: 8,252 stretches of road (937 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Nottinghamshire County Council runs the parking here, with 30 residents’ parking schemes on 474 streets across the county, it says, but it doesn’t publish a list or a map of them. So this map can’t tell a free street from one in an older scheme, and 911 km are grey: not checked. What the council does publish is each new parking order since 2017, on its consultation website, and every one of those for these towns was read. The 26 streets they name show what the orders say. In West Bridgford: the pay and display bays brought in on 31 March 2025, in the town centre for up to 3 hours and on Bridgford Road, Fox Road and Hound Road with no limit, all charged every day from 8am to 8pm, with the first 30 minutes free; the permit zones on Park Avenue (at all times) and Violet Road (Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm); and the event-day zone by the City Ground. Permit schemes on City Road and Wilkinson Avenue in Beeston, James Street and Orchard Street in Kimberley and Easthorpe Street in Ruddington. And a few time-limited bays and school-time lines in Arnold, Beeston, Hucknall and Stapleford.

A made order shows what was brought in on the day it took effect; a later order could have changed it. The signs on the street always override this map.

St Albans and Harpenden

Added 25 Oct 2026. St Albans City and District: the city of St Albans, Harpenden, and the villages around them, from Redbourn and Wheathampstead to London Colney, Colney Heath, Sandridge and St Stephen (Park Street, Chiswell Green, How Wood and Bricket Wood). Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 3,988 stretches of road (652 km) from OpenStreetMap, in eight areas that follow the parish boundaries.

The district council runs parking here and lists the roads in each of its permit zones, with their hours, so a street on a zone’s list is in that zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs, as in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City. Its newest lists of roads are from 2019 (St Albans) and 2017 (Harpenden), so each zone’s hours come from the newest source: its orders since then for zones F, M and N (every day, 8.30am to 10pm, since 2025 and 2026), Marlborough Road, Thirlestane (permit holders only at all times), Goldsmith Way (since July 2026) and Parkway Court; its 2020 letters for zones P (Monday to Friday, 1.30pm to 3.30pm) and MS; and the lists for the rest. Its 2026 and 2023 lists of the homes that can get permits add the streets the older lists leave out. 72 km (11%) are in a permit zone: 52 km in 35 zones in St Albans, around the city centre and the station, from zone B’s every-day hours to two-hour zones such as P in the Ladder Roads, and 20 km in 7 zones in Harpenden, most of it zone 1’s shared bays east of the station (Monday to Friday, 10am to midday). The villages have no permit zones. 407 km (62%) are free all day.

Pay and display: the city centre’s bays, and since February 2025 the bays in Harpenden town centre and on a few St Albans streets that used to be free for a limited time, now up to 2 hours with the first 30 minutes free once a day. 166 km are grey: 160 km of main, fast and unnamed roads, 4.0 km of paid or time-limited parking streets outside the zones, and 2.4 km of small streets the lists leave out though nearly every street around them is in a zone. 7 km are private roads or closed to traffic. Three small zones (Old Sopwell Gardens, Nunnery Stables and Harpenden’s Holcroft Road) have no published hours. The signs on the street always override this map.

Sheffield

Added 25 Oct 2026. The whole City of Sheffield: the city and its suburbs, from Hillsborough and Crookes to Darnall, Mosborough and Beighton, with Stocksbridge, Chapeltown and High Green, and the villages out to the Peak District. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 14,433 stretches of road (1,932 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Sheffield City Council runs 31 parking permit zones and maps their outlines, so a street inside a zone’s outline is in that zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 1,530 km (79%) are free all day. 70 km are in permit zones, nearly all in the inner suburbs west and south of the city centre, from Crookesmoor, Netherthorpe and Broomhill to Broomhall, Sharrow Vale, Highfield and Lansdowne, with one in Hillsborough. Most run Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6.30pm, or Monday to Friday, 8am to 6.30pm; Botanical and Sharrow Vale centre run until 8.30pm, four Hillsborough streets until 10pm, and Netherthorpe and St George’s at all times. Most zones also have pay and display bays that anyone can use, and a free ticket lets you park in them for up to 20 minutes. In the city centre’s inner and outer zones, 34 km of streets, you pay to park in the bays every day from 8am to 8.30pm. In Kelham Island and Neepsend, 8 km, the pay and display bays charge every day: from 8am to 8.30pm in Kelham Island, and from 9am to 3pm in Neepsend (on weekdays only on Boyland Street, Bardwell Road and part of Neepsend Lane). 12 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 278 km are grey: 210 km of main roads, 52 km of fast roads, mostly out in the countryside, unnamed roads, and 4 km beside or through the zones drawn round parking areas rather than streets: the residents’ car parks at Lansdowne Flats, Edward Street Flats and Hawley Street, and the small zones at Drake House, Vaughton Hill, Holme Lane, Loxley New Road and Falding Street.

A street counts as in a zone when most of its length is inside the zone’s outline; where an outline cuts across a street, it shows as partly in the zone. The council’s map marks one small part of Crookesmoor, on Oxford Street, Monday to Saturday, though its zone page gives the zone as Monday to Friday, so that part shows Monday to Saturday. In Kelham Island and Neepsend, a street’s hours follow the side of the River Don it is on, with Neepsend to the north, except where the scheme’s 2025 orders give its pay and display hours; Ebenezer Street and the south end of Ball Street, on the Kelham Island side, have bays from 9am to 3pm under those orders but show Kelham Island’s longer hours. The council plans new schemes for St Vincent’s and Effingham Road and has proposed permit parking on Troutbeck Road; none is in force yet. The council doesn’t publish its yellow lines, so a green street can still have them at junctions. The signs on the street always override this map.

Coventry

Added 25 Oct 2026. The whole City of Coventry: the city centre and its suburbs, from Earlsdon, Cheylesmore and Stoke to Foleshill, Holbrooks and Longford in the north, Walsgrave and Wyken in the east, Tile Hill and Canley in the west, and Styvechale and Finham in the south. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 7,671 stretches of road (928 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Coventry City Council lists the streets in each of its residents’ permit zones, with the house numbers that can get permits, so a street on a zone’s list is in that zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 676 km (73%) are free all day. 68 km are in residents’ permit zones, mostly in the inner suburbs around the ring road, from Earlsdon and the Butts to Hillfields, Stoke and Cheylesmore, with others in Walsgrave and around the University of Warwick in Canley and Cannon Park. Most run Monday to Saturday or Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Clifford Park Estate and Paradise are permit only at all times, Canley Road and Burnsall Road at all times from Monday to Saturday, and Heathcote Street and St Augustine’s Walk every day from 8am to 8pm, while Cannon Park Road and the University of Warwick’s WU zone are permit only for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon on weekdays. 21 zones (25 km) have no hours on their pages, so they show as hours not published. Around the Coventry Building Society Arena in the north, 67 km of streets in Holbrooks, Longford and Alderman’s Green are in the seven Arena zones (AA to AG), where parking is for permit holders on event days only, from 10am to midnight according to the arena’s official parking site; on other days they’re free, apart from yellow lines and signs.

Inside the ring road, the council’s on-street pay and display bays charge 24 hours a day, every day, on the 7 km of streets it lists: for up to 2 hours in most of the centre, and up to 4 hours in zone 2, from Much Park Street and St John’s Street to Friars Road. Zone 3, on 1.6 km of streets just outside the ring road to the north and east, from Leicester Row to Vine Street, also charges at all times, for up to 4 hours. The other 5 km of streets inside the ring road are grey, as they may only have loading bays, disabled bays or yellow lines; the Trinity Street and Cathedral loops are also closed to traffic from 10am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday, except for permit holders. 5 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking. 102 km are grey: 71 km of main roads, 13 km of fast roads, unnamed roads, the city centre streets above, and 1.7 km of short streets that aren’t on any list though nearly every street around them is in a zone.

Where only some of a street’s house numbers can get permits, the street shows as partly in the zone, near the zone’s other streets; where only one to three named houses can, usually on a corner, the street stays out of the zone. A long street on the pay and display list is paid only near the council’s map marker for its bays, or near its postcode where the marker is far from it, as on Stoney Stanton Road. The council doesn’t publish its yellow lines, so a green street can still have them at junctions. The signs on the street always override this map.

Southampton

Added 25 Oct 2026. The whole City of Southampton: the city centre and its suburbs, from Shirley, Freemantle and Portswood to Bitterne, Woolston and Sholing east of the River Itchen, Bassett and Swaythling in the north, and Millbrook, Redbridge and Lordswood in the west. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 5,784 stretches of road (614 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Southampton City Council maps its residents’ parking zones, so a street inside a zone’s outline is in that zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 398 km (65%) are free all day. 81 km are in 20 residents’ permit zones, from the Polygon, Newtown and Bevois Town by the city centre to Highfield and the university’s streets, Shirley and Freemantle, Woolston, and the hospital zones around Coxford, Lordswood and Aldermoor. Most run 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday or Monday to Friday. The two Woolston zones run every day from 8am to 10pm, Alexandra Quay every day from 8am to 8pm, Rockstone Place on Sunday afternoons too, Cemetery Road until 3pm on weekdays, and Guildhall Square at all times. Around St Mary’s Stadium, 7 km of streets in Northam, Bitterne Manor and Itchen are in the three stadium zones, which are permit only on event days, at the times on their entry signs; on other days they’re free, apart from yellow lines and signs. Bevois Town’s zone also runs on event days.

In the city centre, the council’s on-street pay and display bays charge every day from 8am to 8pm. 11 km of streets are on its list of the outer zone’s pay and display streets, where a short-stay bay takes up to 4 hours and a long-stay one all day; on the main roads on that list, only part of the street has bays. The other 18 km of city centre streets are grey: the council doesn’t list the inner zone’s streets, and these may have its bays, loading or disabled bays, or yellow lines. Four zones cover residents’ car parks, a cemetery’s roads and a depot rather than streets (Kingsland, Holyrood Estate, Hollybrook Cemetery and East Park Depot), so the streets through them (1.0 km) are grey too. 94 km are grey in all: 62 km of main roads, 4 km of fast roads, unnamed roads, the streets above, Portswood Road, and 1.4 km of short streets among zone streets that no zone’s outline takes in. 22 km are private roads, closed to traffic or marked no parking.

A street counts as in a zone when most of its length is inside the zone’s outline. The map gives no hours for zones 26 and 27, so theirs come from the council’s hospital scheme pages (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm). In Glen Eyre and Hampton Park the hours vary between parking places, and the map shows the longest. The council’s list of permit zones also has a zone 28 in Portswood that its zone map doesn’t show, so Portswood Road is grey. The council doesn’t publish its yellow lines, so a green street can still have them at junctions. The signs on the street always override this map.

Slough

Added 25 Oct 2026. The whole Borough of Slough: the town centre and its neighbourhoods, from Cippenham, Chalvey and Salt Hill in the west to Upton, Langley and Wexham, with Britwell in the north and Colnbrook and Poyle out by Heathrow. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 2,973 stretches of road (356 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Slough Borough Council lists the streets in each of its residents’ parking zones, so a street on a zone’s list is in that zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 265 km (74%) are free all day. 25 km are in 34 residents’ parking zones, nearly all around the town centre, in Chalvey, Upton, Salt Hill and Baylis, with one in Colnbrook. The zone list gives no hours, and the council has published them for only some zones: the town centre’s zone B, B2 on Wexham Road, BS1 and BS2 in Baylis, K1, L in Chalvey, N, R1 in Langley and CP6 in Colnbrook. Most of these are for permit holders at all times, with bays others can use for a short time in the day; CP6 runs Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. The other 25 zones (13 km) show as hours not published, so check the signs there.

The council’s on-street pay and display bays charge Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm: on the town centre streets in zone B, and on Hatfield Road, the High Street and Waterside Drive in Langley, which show as pay to park (1.2 km). The pay and display bays at the northern end of Wexham Road have resident parking restrictions outside their hours, so that stretch is grey, as are town centre streets on neither list. In Colnbrook and Poyle, the council proposed a zone (CP2) in 2024 and consulted on two more (CP4 and CP5) in 2025; none is on its zone list yet, so their streets (7 km) are grey. 64 km are grey in all: 39 km of main roads, 9 km of fast roads, unnamed roads and the streets above.

Where the list gives house numbers, the street shows as partly in the zone, near the zone’s other streets; zone B2’s houses on Wexham Road are at its town centre end. Zone CP, a few houses on a service road beside London Road, isn’t on the map, as the list gives no way to place it. The council’s experimental orders for zones J and P2 lapsed in 2022, and it consulted on new hours for them in 2023. The council doesn’t publish its yellow lines, so a green street can still have them at junctions. The signs on the street always override this map.

Northampton

Added 26 Oct 2026. The town of Northampton as the former borough: the town centre and its suburbs, from Kingsthorpe, Spinney Hill and Boothville in the north to Far Cotton, Delapre and the Hunsburys in the south, Duston and Upton in the west, and Abington, Weston Favell, Billing and the Eastern District in the east, with Wootton, Collingtree, Great Houghton and Hardingstone. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 6,753 stretches of road (755 km) from OpenStreetMap.

West Northamptonshire Council lists the streets in each of Northampton’s residents’ parking zones, so a street on a zone’s list is in that zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 629 km (83%) are free all day. 17.0 km are in the 8 zones, all close to the town centre: A by Billing Road, D off the Kettering Road, E at the Mounts, F in St James, G in Spring Boroughs, H on St John’s Street, and B and C, a single street each. The council doesn’t publish the zones’ hours online, so they all show as hours not published: check the signs there. Stockley Street is only partly in zone A; York Road, the other street the list gives as partly in it, is a main road, so it’s grey.

The streets in the council’s pay and display charges notice are grey (4.3 km), with their charges, because the notice doesn’t give the hours: most are in the town centre, plus Cliftonville and The Avenue by the hospital. The town centre inside the inner ring road is grey too (4.7 km): residents there can no longer get permits, and its streets aren’t on the council’s lists. 102 km are grey in all, including 62 km of main roads.

Bournemouth

Added 26 Oct 2026. The town of Bournemouth as the former borough, now part of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole: the town centre and the East and West Cliffs, Westbourne, Winton, Charminster, Boscombe, Southbourne and Tuckton, and Kinson, West Howe and Muscliff to the north. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 3,643 stretches of road (511 km) from OpenStreetMap.

BCP Council lists the streets in each of Bournemouth’s residents’ parking zones, so a street on a zone’s list is in that zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 437 km (86%) are free all day. The 10 zones are small, 4.9 km in all, mostly a street or two each around the town centre, the East Cliff and Boscombe. The council doesn’t publish their hours, so they show as hours not published: check the signs there.

The council’s on-street pay and display roads show as pay to park (7.9 km), with the hours from its on street parking pages: most of the town centre’s charge Monday to Saturday from 8am or 9am to 8pm (some on Sundays too), and the long-stay roads on the East Cliff and around Lansdowne from 9am to 5pm every day. The rest of the town centre is grey (11.4 km), as its streets aren’t on the council’s lists. 59 km are grey in all, including 45 km of main roads.

Oxford and Oxfordshire towns

Added 26 Oct 2026. The City of Oxford, and the built-up areas of Banbury, Bicester, Witney, Abingdon, Didcot, Kidlington, Henley-on-Thames, Thame, Wantage and Wallingford. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 11,799 stretches of road (1,171 km, 354 km of them in Oxford) from OpenStreetMap.

Oxfordshire County Council runs on-street parking across the county, and its controlled parking zone map gives each zone’s outline and hours, so a street inside a zone is in it and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 777 km (66%) are free all day. In Oxford, 213 km are in 50 zones: the city centre and the inner suburbs, from Jericho, Walton Manor and North Oxford to East Oxford, Iffley, Headington and Cowley, are controlled at all times (with bays others can use for a while in the day); the outer zones mostly run on weekdays, 9am to 5pm, and the four zones around the Kassam Stadium on Sunday mornings and event days. In the towns, 24.8 km are in the council’s zones, in Abingdon, Banbury, Bicester, Didcot, Henley-on-Thames, Thame, Wallingford, Wantage and Witney.

Oxford’s city centre around Carfax, outside the residents’ zones, is grey: its streets are pay and display, loading or pedestrian streets. 136 km are grey in all, most of them main roads (104 km).

Reading

Added 26 Oct 2026. The Borough of Reading: the town centre, Caversham and Lower Caversham north of the Thames, and from Tilehurst, Southcote and Coley in the west to Newtown, east Reading by the university, and Whitley in the south. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 4,237 stretches of road (437 km) from OpenStreetMap.

Reading Borough Council publishes a street list for its residents’ permit zones, so a street on the list is in its zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 281 km (64%) are free all day. 82 km are in the council’s 19 zones, 01R to 15R in the inner suburbs around the town centre and in Caversham, plus the small schemes B2, C4, W1 and Z1. Where the list gives only some house numbers, the street shows as partly in the zone (26 km). The council doesn’t publish the zones’ hours, so they show as hours not published: check the signs. Its permit rules say every zone also has some limited-waiting bays anyone can use for up to 2 hours between 10am and 4pm.

The town centre around Broad Street is grey (7.4 km): its streets are pay and display, loading or pedestrian streets, outside the residents’ zones. 66 km are grey in all, including 47 km of main roads.

Windsor and Maidenhead

Added 27 Oct 2026. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead: Windsor and Eton, Maidenhead, Datchet, Old Windsor and Wraysbury, Cookham and Bray, and Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale in the south. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 4,630 stretches of road (711 km) from OpenStreetMap.

The council lists every street with residents’ permit bays on its website, zone by zone, so a street on those lists is in its zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 392 km (55%) are free all day. 58 km are in the council’s 105 zones: Windsor’s central zone E and its neighbours, Maidenhead’s zone M and many single-street schemes, and others in Eton, Datchet, Cookham, Bray, Ascot and Sunningdale. The council gives the hours of two zones, both in Maidenhead: Boyn Hill Avenue (Monday to Friday, 10am to 11am and 2pm to 3pm) and College Avenue (Monday to Friday, 11am to 1pm). The others show as hours not published: check the signs.

The town centres of Windsor, Maidenhead and Eton are grey (6.1 km): their streets are pay and display, loading or pedestrian streets, outside the residents’ zones. 244 km are grey in all, including 166 km of main roads and 62 km of fast country roads.

Norwich

Added 27 Oct 2026. The City of Norwich, from Hellesdon Road, Mile Cross and Catton Grove in the north to Lakenham, Tuckswood and Eaton in the south, and from Bowthorpe and the university in the west to Thorpe Hamlet in the east. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 6,056 stretches of road (413 km) from OpenStreetMap. The ring road and other trunk roads aren’t included.

Norwich City Council’s map of its controlled parking zones gives each zone’s outline and hours, so a street inside a zone is in it and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 244 km (59%) are free all day. 118 km are in the council’s 37 zones. The city centre zones, such as Castle (CZ), Cathedral (CAT) and St Giles (GIL), are for permit holders at any time (43 km), with pay and display or limited-waiting bays in many streets. The zones around them run Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6.30pm, and zone WE and part of zone BB Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm.

40 km are grey, including 34 km of main roads that run through the zones or outside them.

Leicester

Added 27 Oct 2026. The City of Leicester, from Beaumont Leys and Rushey Mead in the north to Aylestone, Knighton and Eyres Monsell in the south, and from New Parks and Braunstone in the west to Hamilton, Humberstone and Evington in the east. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 6,428 stretches of road (857 km) from OpenStreetMap. The ring roads and other trunk roads aren’t included.

Leicester City Council lists every street with residents’ permits on its website, with each street’s zone and the house numbers that can get permits, so a street on the list is in its zone and every other street is free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs. 687 km (80%) are free all day. 56 km are in the council’s 17 zones, around the city centre: Highfields (E) and the Stoneygate scheme (S) to the east, Westcotes (F) to the west, Clarendon Park (K) to the south, and smaller schemes such as Holy Trinity (A), Woodgate (M), Waterside (P) and zone T in Belgrave. Where the list gives only some house numbers, the street shows as partly in the zone (29 km).

Zones G, H, M, N, S and T are for permit holders at any time, zone J Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, Clarendon Park (K) Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 10.30am, and zone B, by the King Power Stadium, on event days, 10am to 11pm. The council doesn’t publish the other zones’ hours, so they show as hours not published: check the signs.

The city centre around the Clock Tower is grey (18.7 km): its streets are pay and display, loading or pedestrian streets, outside the residents’ zones. So are the roads of a private estate off Upperton Road, where the council plans a zone U once it adopts them. 108 km are grey in all, including 75 km of main roads.

Cardiff

Added 27 Oct 2026. The City and County of Cardiff, from Tongwynlais, Lisvane and Pontprennau in the north to Butetown and Cardiff Bay in the south, and from St Fagans, Ely and Caerau in the west to Rumney and St Mellons in the east. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 9,266 stretches of road (1,144 km) from OpenStreetMap. The A48 and other trunk roads aren’t included.

Cardiff Council publishes the streets of only some of its parking zones, so this map of Cardiff is partial. 34 km are in the zones whose streets it does publish: zones C1, C2 and C3 in Cathays and C4 in Gabalfa, from the council’s map of them; Riverside South (B3), Plasnewydd South (B5A) and Plasnewydd Central (D1), from its zone pages; Butetown South (K1), from its traffic order; the small zones named after Fairoak Road (C5), Wedal Road (C6) and Talybont (C7), which show as partly in the zone; and a zone the council says covers Llanfair Road and Penhill Road in Pontcanna, whose hours it doesn’t publish. All parking in a zone is controlled every day: from 8am to 6pm in the C zones except C7, to 8pm in K1, and to 10pm in B3, B5A, D1 and C7, while resident permit bays often run longer. D1 is new: the council says it isn’t enforcing it while its signs and lines go in.

The council also has many single-street permit schemes, its ‘red’ streets and ‘blue’ permit parking areas, mostly in the central wards, but it doesn’t publish which streets they are. So every other street in Adamsdown, Butetown, Canton, Cathays, Grangetown, Plasnewydd, Riverside and Splott is grey, not checked (192 km), and so is the city centre (10 km). Where the council has proposed a new zone, such as in Pontcanna, Riverside, Grangetown, Butetown and Cathays North, the street says so. The rest of the city, 725 km (63%), shows as free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs, though a few suburban streets may have permit schemes the council doesn’t list. 369 km are grey in all, including 132 km of main roads.

Newport

Added 27 Oct 2026. The City of Newport, from Bettws, Malpas and Caerleon in the north to Pillgwenlly, the docks and the Gwent Levels in the south, and from Rogerstone and Marshfield in the west to Langstone and Llanwern in the east. Every street that has homes or parking on it, main roads included: 4,959 stretches of road (796 km) from OpenStreetMap. The M4, the A449 and other trunk roads aren’t included.

Newport City Council’s on-street parking order (2019) lists the roads with residents’ permit schemes, and its Residential parking page names four more: Locke Street, Rose Street, Lucas Street and Queens Hill Road. The order’s plans, which show where the permit bays are and when they apply, aren’t published, so each of these 94 streets shows as partly in a permit scheme, with hours not published (29 km). The council’s permit policy says permit bays take up at most half of a street outside the city centre and usually apply from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday, though older schemes may differ. Most of the streets are in the inner suburbs around the city centre, with a few in Caerleon. The list doesn’t say which Arthur Street it means, so both show, in Pillgwenlly and in Caerleon; Kingsway and Cardiff Road show only their service roads; and three roads on the list aren’t on the map, as OpenStreetMap doesn’t name them: Kear Court, Old Malpas Road and the access road to Langstone Cottages.

The city centre is grey (3.2 km): the council’s parking strategy controls all parking there, and School Lane has business permit holders’ bays. Every other street, 543 km (68%), shows as free all day, apart from yellow lines and signs, though a scheme the council has added since the order may be missing. 210 km are grey in all, including 136 km of main roads.

Addresses and house numbers in the search: looked up as you type with Photon, komoot's free search over OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), when the search has a house number or names a street this map doesn't hold.
