Secure motorcycle parking

Secure motorcycle parking is provided on the second floor of the Market Hall multi storey car park, Civic Centre car park in Huddersfield and Towngate car park in Holmfirth.

Car Park parking in a full parking space

If you park a motor cycle in a full car park space you need to purchase a ticket and this should be kept with you.

Parking on street in a pay and display bay

Motor cycles can park in on-street pay and display parking places free of charge and without time limit. However, the Council would ask that all motor cycles are parked nose to kerb (herring bone fashion) where possible, to maximise the use of the parking place. Section 136 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 defines a motor cycle as follows:

In this Act (except for the purposes of [F1sections 57 and 63]) "motor cycle" means a mechanically propelled vehicle (not being an invalid carriage) with fewer than 4 wheels, of which the weight un-laden does not exceed 410 kilograms.

Quad bike parking

Quad bikes must park within a bay in a car park and on-street, all time restrictions must be adhered to.

A pay and display ticket must be purchased and kept on your person in case you are asked to provide it to the Council.
