CAR PARKING

Parking in Rochester

There is never enough parking in City centres and Rochester is no exception – but we hope this will be a useful guide if you are unable to use public transport to get here.

There are plenty of places to park a bike at Rochester Station, Blue Boar Lane and at various places along the High Street

Our cobbled streets around the centre are not marked with yellow lines for aesthetic and conservation reasons – but they do have very clear signs on poles giving parking restrictions.

We also have very active Traffic Enforcement Officers, working through until 1.00am and starting early in the morning. The residents are really grateful for the work they do as they keep the streets flowing on our behalf – so it’s not worth chancing parking your car just anywhere – do look around carefully for signs.

There are lots of roads close to the centre, where it’s possible to park for up to 2 hours free. Again– the signs make everything very clear, do keep an eye on the time.

Our Council-run car parks use Ringo and most take cash payments as well. The advantage with Ringo - you get a warning when time is nearly up.
