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.
