The downloadable map shows all park and ride, pay and display bays and multi-storey car parks in Leeds city centre.
If you park on double yellow lines or somewhere where parking is not allowed, you could get a parking ticket and have to pay a penalty charge.
Why do we enforce the rules?
- to encourage sensible and safe parking in the city
- to reduce congestion on the roads and commuter journey times
- to make it safer for drivers and pedestrians in Leeds
- to improve the environment
- to make it easier for Leeds' residents to park in residential zones
Traffic regulations can seem complicated, but if you follow these simple parking rules you will avoid being issued with a parking ticket.

Leeds City Council has developed a new ‘one stop shop’ travel information website which will allow travellers to find out exactly what’s happening on the city’s roads, car parks, railways and bus routes so they can plan ahead and avoid any trouble spots.
