8. Schedule 5 - Signs to indicate parking places and areas subject to parking controls

The new structure

8.1
Signs for parking places and parking zones are now designed on the ‘building block’ principle. The design process begins with the blank canvas which provides the starting point from which to begin to create the desired signing.
Table 8.1 Signs to indicate parking places and areas subject to parking controls
Part 1 Prescribes the parking place sign and supplementary plates previously prescribed in TSRGD 2002 as diagrams 801, 804.1, 804.2, 804.3, 804.4 and 969.

It should be noted that the “P” sign does not include the larger sizes used for laybys on rural roads. The sign is prescribed in Schedule 11 Part 2 Item 56 for use in this situation.

Part 2 Prescribes the basic sign indicating the entrance to a parking zone. This Part covers:
  • controlled parking zones
  • restricted parking zones
  • commercial vehicle controlled parking zones
  • voucher parking zones
  • permit parking areas
  • "loading only" areas
  • footway or verge parking prohibitions
Part 3 Prescribes the individual elements forming the upper panel.
Part 4 Prescribes the individual elements forming the lower panel
Part 5
Schedule 5
General Directions
Sets out sign specific directions.

Changes in TSRGD 2016

8.2
A new sign has been prescribed to indicate the entrance to a road or area where an order has been made to prohibit parking on the verge and/or footway except where permitted by the provision of parking bays. A repeater sign to remind drivers of the footway or verge parking prohibition is prescribed in Schedule 7 Part 2, together with other signs indicating the end of a zone.
