Permit / Resident bays
Permit Holders with Short-Stay Public Parking
In plain English
Permit holders can park without a time limit; others are restricted to a short stay during controlled hours.
What it means
This bay or zone allows permit holders to park without any time limit during the controlled hours. Non-permit holders may also park but are subject to a maximum stay (e.g. 20 minutes). This type of bay is common near town centres and shopping streets where residents park alongside shoppers and short-stay visitors.
