Restricted zones

Restricted zones have a 24-hour blanket control applied, which means that yellow lines will not be present. The zone will be defined by an entry sign and an exit sign. Vehicles can only stop in signed bays, which may have sign plates or legends indicating the type and length of use.

If you wait or park outside the bays provided, you commit a contravention and may receive a Penalty Charge Notice.
