Parking Enforcement Policy

Objectives of parking enforcement

  • To maintain and improve the free and safe flow of traffic, thereby making Rotherham a more pleasant and environmentally safe place to live, work and visit
  • To improve the quality and accessibility of public transport, especially buses on Quality Bus Corridors, by discouraging the use of cars where road conditions and public transport facilities justify this. Again encouraging a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
  • To actively support the needs of disabled people, bearing in mind that in some cases they are unable to use public transport and are entirely dependent upon the use of a car.
  • To actively discourage indiscriminate parking as this can cause obstruction to other motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and disabled people and negatively contribute to congestion
  • To actively support Local Transport Plan targets and objectives and to help fulfil the requirements of The Traffic Management Act 2004, in particular those helping to reduce congestion and improving road safety
