Public transport

Disabled parking
Blue badge holders can park for up to 3 hours on yellow lines, provided there is no restriction on loading or unloading. They can also park free of charge all day in any pay and display parking space. Nor do they have to pay when using a resident’s parking bay intended, or shared, or disabled use bay in a residents’ parking scheme. In some areas, parking in a disabled parking bay is limited to 3 hours. When using an off-street car park, any restrictions for blue badge holders will be indicated.
Parking restrictions & event days
Central Bristol, which includes Trenchard Street, is a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). The object is to keep traffic moving and all streets in the CPZ are subject to parking restrictions at least some of the time. The restrictions include:
Pay and display bays permitting parking for 1, 2 or 4 hours, depending on location Kerb flashes indicating that loading and unloading are restricted or not permitted Single yellow lines indicating that parking is allowed at certain times only and double yellow lines indicating that parking is not allowed under any circumstances.The area immediately outside the CPZ is also subject to restrictions, in this case, through the provision of residents’ parking schemes.
Overnight, weekends & bank holidays
Restrictions concerning single yellow line parking continue to apply on bank holidays, including Good Friday, but do not apply on Christmas Day or on any Sunday. Pay and display parking spaces are free on bank holidays and there are no restrictions on resident parking bays.
Drop-off and pick-up
Passengers can be dropped off and picked up from any location, as long as there are no yellow marks visible on the kerb, but this does not authorise any right to wait there.
