Easier Parking for Care Workers?


Devon County Council is proposing to allow care and health professionals to park where there are yellow lines restrictions when visiting clients at home.

Currently exemption permits allow care workers and other health care staff to use on-street pay and display, limited waiting and residents parking for no charge if they are delivering essential services to residents in their own homes.  But now they are proposing a Traffic Regulation Order that extends this exemption to include parking on single and double yellow lines – but only when alternative parking isn’t available.
