Your responsibility

In Victoria, parking rules are a shared responsibility between drivers and local councils. Drivers are expected to know and obey the road rules, including parking regulations.

Parking, the road rules and you

Parking and traffic laws exist to ensure the safe and fair use of Victoria's roads for the benefit of everyone.

Parking correctly

Vehicle owners should be aware of correct parking in residential streets to avoid being issued infringements for parking violations. 

Loading zones

Loading zones are provided to allow the pickup or delivery of loads or people close to their destination. They are not provided for short term parking. Only certain eligible vehicles may park in a loading zone.
