Parking, the road rules and you
Parking and traffic laws exist to ensure the safe and fair use of Victoria's roads for the benefit of everyone.
Parking correctly
Vehicle owners should be aware of correct parking in residential streets to avoid being issued infringements for parking violations.
Loading zones
Loading zones are provided to allow the pickup or delivery of loads or people close to their destination. They are not provided for short term parking. Only certain eligible vehicles may park in a loading zone.
