Parking discs 

Parking sign

Parking using a disc is free, but is time limited. You may be able to park for just 10 minutes or for as long as 6 hours, depending on the parking restrictions of the area.

Parking discs display your arrival time.

There are 3 red cardboard discs on a parking disc, which must be turned to show the following details:

  • hour
  • 10th / 20th / 30th minute etc
  • first, second, third minute etc

For example, if you parked your car at 10.46, you would rotate the discs to show:

  • [10] on the first disc (hour)
  • [4] on the second disc (40th minute)
  • [6] on the third disc (sixth minute)

If any of the details are not visible or are incorrect, then you will be issued with a parking fine.

If you park for longer than your parking disc is valid for, then you will get a parking fine. You will also get a parking fine if you stay longer than the maximum time restriction in a parking area.

If I don’t have a parking disc can I write my arrival time on a piece of paper and use this instead?

No. A handwritten note is not acceptable and you will be issued with a parking fine. You can use a paycard instead of a parking disc.

Where can I buy a parking disc and how much do they cost?

Parking discs can be bought from the following places: 

  • Town Hall, St Helier
  •  Parking Control Office in Sand Street
  • Trading Standards Weighing Office in the Central Market

They cost £2.00.

I have been issued with a blue parking disc with my disabled driver badge. Can I use this when parking?

Yes. You can use yellow or blue parking discs.
