On-street parking rules
On-street parking in Swindon is controlled in many areas. Always check the signs: they show time limits, permit holder only, loading restrictions, or no parking at all. Yellow lines mean waiting restrictions (single = no waiting at certain times; double = no waiting at any time unless there are time plates). Ignoring signs can lead to a parking fine (PCN).
Car park rules
Council car parks have their own rules – maximum stay, payment required (often Monday–Saturday), and sometimes free on Sundays. See Parking in Swindon for locations and typical charges, and the council’s parking pages for current tariffs and any rule changes.
Resident permits
In controlled parking zones (CPZs), residents may need a permit to park on the street. Visitor permits, business permits, and eligibility are set by the council. Check swindon.gov.uk – Parking for your area.
Blue Badge holders
Blue Badge holders have certain exemptions; display the badge and follow the conditions. Council and venue websites give details for accessible parking.
