Parking Rules for Mobility Scooters

All normal parking restrictions should be observed. Your vehicle should not be left unattended if it causes an obstruction to other pedestrians – especially those in wheelchairs. Parking concessions provided under the Blue Badge scheme (see Further reading) will apply to those vehicles displaying a valid badge.

💡Example

When parking a powered wheelchair or mobility scooter, obey all parking restrictions and avoid causing obstructions. For instance, if you're using a mobility scooter on a busy high street, ensure you park in a designated area and display a Blue Badge if applicable, so you don't block the path for other pedestrians, especially those with disabilities.
