Controlled
Parking
Zones
How
does
a
CPZ
work?
A
Controlled
Parking
Zone
(CPZ)
is
an
area
where
all
on-street
parking
is
controlled.
This
means
that
parking
is
only
permitted
in
designated
parking
bays
and
that
the
remainder
of
the
kerbside
space
is
subject
to
yellow
line
restrictions.
Its
main
aim
is
to
discourage
commuter
and
long
stay
parking
by
people
from
outside
the
area.
To
make
sure
that
this
works
fairly,
zones
are
enforced
by
uniformed
parking
attendants.

There
are
signs
at
the
entry
roads
to
all
CPZs
giving
the
hours
during
which
the
controls
and
yellow
line
restrictions
are
operational.
Sometimes,
yellow
line
restrictions
within
a
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.

What types of CPZ are there?
The council's Technical Services Department is responsible for the design,
operation and regular reviews of the of these schemes.
There are two main types of parking control; all-day restrictions and
one-hour restrictions and a CPZ can be made up of a mixture of the two.

All
day zone
This operates for most of the working day (e.g. between 9.30am and
5.30pm) Monday to Friday. In some shopping areas, this can also
include Saturday.
Bays are normally shared use being a combination of permit holders
and pay and display. The time limit is often two or four hours,
but there are a number of one hour 'shopper bays' in busy shopping
areas. There are also some eight hour bays around St George's Hospital
in Tooting.

One
hour zone
This operates for one hour per day - usually Monday to Friday. It
is designed specifically to deter commuters. It will allow others
to park without restriction outside the specified hour.
Residents who own or keep a vehicles may purchase one resident parking
permit as well as visitor permits for use by |
their visitors. Businesses
may purchase business permits for vehicles which are essential for the
efficient operation of their business. Tradesmen may also purchase permits
to use whilst carrying out work at addresses within a CPZ.
