What is Free 1 Hour Parking?
Free 1 hour parking refers to on-street limited waiting bays where you can park at no charge for up to 60 minutes. These bays are marked with white painted lines and a kerb-side sign showing the maximum stay. They are free to use during the restricted hours shown on the sign, and completely unrestricted outside those hours (typically evenings and Sundays).
