Parking restrictions

In this section you will find out about different types of parking restrictions in Hackney and what you need to do to ensure you don’t receive a parking fine (penalty charge notice).

 

Checking parking exemptions and permissions

We allow an observation period, which is time for parking officers to confirm if your vehicle has a valid exemption or permission. This includes:

  • loading or unloading
  • a Blue Badge
  • a parking permit
  • a visitor voucher

This time should not be treated as free parking.

The length of the observation period varies depending on the location, vehicle type and the type of exemption or permission.
