Types of parking restrictions
Parking places in controlled parking zones are marked out as boxes with broken parallel white lines.
Roadside signs are displayed at every entry point into the zone. They display the days and hours when parking control is in force.
The places may be free, restricted, reserved for permit holders, pay and display, meter parking or a combination.
Any yellow line separating these boxes is a loading gap where you can load and unload, unless the kerb markings or signs indicate otherwise.
Restricted parking zones
Restricted parking zones are areas where waiting, parking and loading restrictions apply but there are no yellow lines on the road or kerb.
Boundary signs and occasional reminder signs are used to explain the hours of restriction within the zone.
Reserved for permit holder
Parking permits allow you to park in a CPZ at any time. To park on a street, during CPZ hours, you must have a valid parking permit.
Pay and display parking
Cashless parking in Ealing is provided by PayByPhone.
PayByPhone parking is available for all on-street parking spaces.
You must pay for the full time you expect to stay. It is illegal to return and buy further time in the same parking space, for example, to avoid the maximum time shown on the meter. The 'no-return' limit is stated on the sign, or one hour, whichever is shorter.
We recommend using the PayByPhone app as it is the easiest and quickest way to pay for parking. To download the free app visit www.paybyphone.com/ealing. The app can also be downloaded directly from the App Store or Google Play.
