Pay & Display Parking

You’ll find roadside Pay & Display parking on most of the streets around Clifton Village. Please check signs carefully, some bays are Pay & Display only, others are shared with permit holders during certain hours, and a few are Permit Only.


We recommend avoiding time-limited or permit-only spaces, as parking wardens are thorough — and while we’d love to cover your ticket, sadly, we can’t!
