When displayed your permit would give your car immunity from penalties designed to stop others parking all day in your road. They will give you the best possible chance to park near your home or business. They do not reserve any particular part of the road for your use.
The controls do not affect your access to parking or garaging on your own land (e.g. in your driveway). Certain vehicles will also be exempt, for example motorcycles, emergency vehicles and vehicles displaying the Disabled Person's badge.
Restrictions apply on Sundays and Bank Holidays in all parking areas unless otherwise stated.
