Parking restrictions & event days
There are no double yellow lines in the centre of Coventry, because they aren’t needed: the whole city centre is a restricted parking zone. You may not park on the road anywhere other than in a designated parking bay.
Overnight, weekends & bank holidays
Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are the only bank holidays that allow free parking in Coventry.
Drop-off and pick-up
It is permitted to stop anywhere, except where yellow markings are visible on the kerb, in order to drop off or pick up a passenger, whether disabled or not. But this does not give you the right to wait. If your passenger is not there waiting for you, you must drive away and return later.
Nearby attractions
Coventry has long been a prime mover in the automotive industry in Britain and there is a transport museum in Millennium Place, Hale Street honouring this tradition. There is also a Music Museum in Walsgrave Road, though if your taste tends towards Brahms and Mozart rather than Black Sabbath and the Beatles, you may not find what you’re looking for here. The Cathedral, destroyed by German bombing in WWII and rebuilt, is a must-see.
