Preferred Parking Space Markings

With reference to the statement on page 170 that states that preferred parking spaces “…must be clearly signposted and marked with a separate colour from other spots…”, note that the requirement for colour markings apply only if the spots are signposted so that it is clear which parking spaces the signposting applies to. If preferred parking bay markings are provided in the actual parking bays, then these markings need not be in a separate colour to other spots as it is clear which parking spots are marked as preferred.

The number of moped/scooter/motorbike spaces must be at least 5 motorbike spaces or 5% of the total number of vehicle spaces on the site (whichever is greater). The size of size 'parking space' is equal to the size of a motor bike parking space. For example, a site with 190 car parking spaces and 10 small motorbike spaces would qualify.
