To avoid a fine, don’t park:

• in areas where waiting and loading restrictions are in force 
• in parking spaces reserved for specific users (such as blue badge holders) without correctly displaying a valid permit 
• in bus stops or bus lanes when restrictions are in force 
• on zigzag lines marked on the road outside school s or at pedestrian crossings
• in pay and display car parks without paying the amount 
• for longer that the restrictions allow, and don’t return to the space within the limitations noticed
• observe regulations and read the information plates and signs.
