Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what analysis he has undertaken to determine good practice when it comes to residential parking schemes; and which local authorities have adopted that model.

Local authorities are responsible for the traffic management schemes implemented on their roads, including residential parking schemes, as they are best placed to balance the competing needs of local road users. The Department has not undertaken an analysis of good practice in respect of residential parking schemes. However, it does issue statutory parking guidance advocating the communication of parking policies to the public and appraisal of those policies, including their effectiveness.
