Parking discs
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?
