Highways Administration

Parking

The Department currently operates a policy of introducing disc parking zones in the Island's Towns and Villages. To date there are 19 Disc Parking Zones throughout the Island. Non residents wishing to park in these areas must display a clock parking disc in their vehicle showing the time of arrival in the parking place. Discs are available from vehicle hire firms, the Sea Terminal, Douglas, Police Stations and local Commissioners' Offices throughout the Island.

A list of the Disc Parking Zones and the roads and streets subject to parking restrictions within them is available for download in pdf format.

Residents who live within a Disc Parking Zone may obtain a Resident's Parking Permit. The permits do not guarantee a parking place but they exempt the holder from the time restrictions imposed in the disc zone areas.

Application Form for a Parking Permit which must be submitted to the address given in the Contact Icon at the top of the page is available for download using the link below.

Applications must be accompanied by the vehicle registration (log) book together with proof of residence, for example a rent book or a bill from a statutory authority such as gas, electricity, telephone etc.

All resident's permits are renewed on an annual basis in March and April.

Reminders and renewal forms are sent to all permit holders in January or February.
