Over 150 fines have been issued to drivers in Belfast for pavement parking since a new crackdown was introduced four months ago. The new restrictions came into force on Friday, November 3rd 2023 and were designed to crack down on the problem of pavement parking . The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) said the new parking restrictions will help to address this issue by prohibiting parking wholly or partly on a footway at a number of specific locations.
They prohibit vehicles from waiting on a footway adjacent to a bus lane, bus stop, bus stand, mandatory cycle lane or mandatory school keep clears. At the time, drivers in Northern Ireland were urged to ‘Think Before You Park’ ahead of the introduction of new parking restrictions or they could face a fine. All vehicles found to be in breach of the new restrictions will receive a £90 Penalty Charge Notice, discounted to £45 if paid within 14 day
