Parking tips for Westminster

Check the sign carefully

Westminster signs often list multiple restriction periods on a single post. Kerbie's sign scanner reads all the times and tells you exactly how long you can stay.

Loading bays are not free parking

Loading bays in Westminster are time-limited and enforcement is strict. Kerbie will remind you before your loading time expires.

Pay & display — top up in time

Unlike some councils, Westminster does not offer a grace period beyond the ticket expiry. Set a Kerbie session timer as soon as you pay.
