We consider introducing Resident Parking Schemes in areas where there is competing parking demand from a mixture of users such as residents, businesses, commuters and shoppers.
They aim to give residents who live in a designated street a fair chance of parking close to their homes but do not guarantee a parking space.
Schemes may include limited waiting and pay and display bays which enable short-stay, non-permit parking for people using local facilities. We install double yellow lines to identify where parking is not permitted.
These schemes require management and enforcement so the permit charges we set cover the associated scheme costs.
We have Resident Parking Schemes operating in Cambridge and Huntingdonshire. Find out more information about their day-to-day operations or apply for a parking permit by selecting an area below:
You can view all Resident Parking Scheme areas on the My Cambridgeshire Map website. Tick the 'Resident Parking Scheme' category to view the layer on the map.

A Resident Parking Scheme is one of several options available to address the parking needs of residents. It may not suit all areas, particularly those where car ownership exceeds parking capacity.
