The benefits of controlled parking zones

Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) are key to reducing traffic and congestion and make it easier for residents and their visitors to park near their home.

Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) are areas where on-street parking is controlled during specified times. Why do we have them? They are the most effective way of managing parking demand and are commonly used to manage parking for example near train stations, hospitals, colleges, central shopping areas, or in areas where there is more demand for parking than there are spaces. They are also used to improve visibility for road users, for example at corners, and to stop dangerous and nuisance parking. CPZs also increase space for other uses e.g. more pavement, increased cycle parking, seating or urban greening.
