Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs)

Why do we need controlled parking zones in Haringey?

Haringey is a borough with high pollution and areas suffering from excessive traffic congestion. As part of a London-wide transport strategy, Haringey is committed to reducing car use in the borough and so reduce pollution, accidents, and delays to buses.

Controlled parking zones (CPZs) were first introduced in Haringey in 1994 to reduce traffic congestion, improve road safety and promote other forms of transport.

The decision to go ahead with a controlled parking zone follows detailed consultation with residents and businesses whose views determine what roads are in the zone and how long the parking controls last. For a list of current CPZ consultations please see Parking Consultations.

How do I park within a controlled parking zone?

Residents, businesses and visitors can park in marked parking bays by displaying a valid parking permit or visitor voucher. For more information on how to apply, please see Parking Permits. Motorists who want to park for a short time can use pay-and-display bays.

Enforcement hours and parking tariffs vary from one CPZ to the next. Zone entry signs indicate the times when waiting restrictions parking bays within the zone are in force and parking bays are in operation.

Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are issued to any parked vehicle that does not display a valid permit or voucher during operational hours.
