Understanding the Park and Ride Sign

Park and Ride

Where: On approaches to cities and large towns, at stations, bus termini and transport interchanges on the edge of congested areas.

Purpose: To mark a facility where you may leave your vehicle and complete your journey by train or bus. The sign pairs the parking symbol with the mode of transport available.

Action Required by Driver: If you are heading into a congested centre, treat it as a genuine option rather than a sign to read and pass. Turn off early — these facilities sit before the congestion, not inside it.
