Street Parking - Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ's)
General Information
- A Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) is an area where all on-street
parking is controlled, parking is only permitted in designated
parking bays and that the remainder of the kerbside space is
subject to yellow line restrictions.
- A Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) requires a Traffic Regulation
Order (TRO) to be created. This is the legal order which defines
the extent of the restrictions.
More about the TRO procedure
- Controlled parking zones (CPZ's) are designed to free up
parking spaces for local residents by deterring commuters, and
other motorists who wish to leave their cars in busy urban
areas.
- Controlled Parking Zones are clearly marked with entry and exit
signs. Please note however that some restrictions, such
as yellow line waiting restrictions, may apply outside
controlled parking zones.
- Please note that the number within a black box on permit
holders parking signs corresponds to the permit zone number.
- There are Controlled Parking Zones in both
Bath and
Keynsham.
Operating Times
- CPZ's operate 8am till 6pm Monday to Saturday
only. Within these zones there are limited waiting
areas.
- Outside of these times permits are not required and visitors
are not required to pay to park. You should always check the signs
displayed and not assume what times the parking controls
operate.
- Sometimes, yellow line restrictions within our CPZ operate
for longer than the controlled hours and, if this is the case,
there will be signs on the kerb or pavement giving the hours of
restriction.
- The only exception to this is double yellow line restrictions,
which always operate "at any time" (24 hours a day, seven
days a week) and do not require a sign plate to
indicate when they are in force.
Pay and Display in Central Bath
- On-street parking in Central Bath is available via the purchase
of Pay & Display tickets from Pay & Display machines
located by the roadside.
- Areas are clearly signed for one and two hours maximum
stays.

Trade Vehicles
- Many plumbers, electricians etc. pay to park their vehicles in
a Pay and Display bay whilst carrying out work in the controlled
zone.
- Others use Resident Visitor permits supplied by the resident.
However, most trades people find
Contractor Permits, which can be purchased in advance, to be
the most convenient method of parking for longer periods.
- Contractor permits are available from Council Connect at
the Guildhall.
Parking Permits
- If you are a Resident or Business owner living/working
within a Controlled Parking Zone area you may be eligible for a
Parking
Permit which will allow you to park in these zones.
