Controlled Parking Zones
Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ)
In plain English
You are entering a zone where parking restrictions apply during the times shown on this entry sign.
What it means
A CPZ entry sign tells you that controlled parking hours apply to the entire area beyond this point. Inside the zone, all single yellow lines and parking bays follow the times on this entry sign unless a local sign overrides them — which means individual streets inside the zone may not have their own time plates. Always look for the CPZ entry sign when parking on an unfamiliar street.
