The downloadable map on the right shows all park and ride, pay and display bays and multi-storey car parks in Leeds city centre.

If you park on double yellow lines or somewhere where parking is not allowed, you could get a parking ticket and have to pay a penalty.

Why do we enforce the rules?

• to encourage sensible and safe parking in the city;
• to reduce congestion on the roads and commuter journey times;
• to make it safer for drivers and pedestrians in Leeds;
• to improve the environment;
• to make it easier for Leeds' residents to park in residential zones.

Next time, think before you park. Traffic regulations can seem complicated, but if you follow these simple parking rules you will avoid being charged.

• Clearways and bus lanes - no parking or stopping during the hours shown on the notice.
• Double yellow lines - no parking at any time.
• Single yellow lines - no parking during the hours shown on the notice.
• Parking meters / pay and display bays - no parking unless the fee paid ticket or sticker can be seen by the parking warden.
• Disabled bays - no parking at any time unless you have a valid blue badge which can be seen by the parking warden
• Loading bays - no parking during the hours shown on the notice, except for goods vehicles loading or unloading.

You can find the full details of parking regulations in the highway code.
