The city council is responsible for managing on-street parking in the city. On many streets there is no need to restrict parking. At other locations it can be necessary to prevent parking for safety reasons with, for example, yellow lines. In other circumstances it is necessary to restrict parking to certain users, for example, to help local residents or businesses.
To view parking enforcement policy visit the Norfolk County Council parking pages and click the link for the Civil Parking Enforcement Guidance Manual.
