what does this sign mean??
I am not permit holder, can I park? which hours? for how long?
PS: trully, am I dumb for not being able to tell if I can park betweek 1.30pm-2.30pm only, or if I can park anytime apart from 1.30pm-2.30pm?

No you must have a residents permit to park between 1.30 and 2.30 pm. The other 23 hours are OK.
It must also be a zone area which is the "U" and "P" bit.
There is normally a reason for a specific time restriction.0 -
It needs a little care in interpretation.
If it is a standalone sign, and is not within a wider Controlled Parking Zone, then it means that people without a permit can park at any time OTHER than 1:30-2:30 Mon-Fri. (Authorities often do this to prevent all-day parking by commuters/other working taxpayers, whilst minimising the cost of enforcement).
If it is within a Controlled Parking Zone, then the parking restrictions are a combination of the two.0 -

They are normally geographical zones that the local passes are valid for.Multi_Power wrote: »what is U and P?
Whatever the reason locally happens to be. In this case, the most likely reason is to prevent all-day parking without committing to all-day enforcement. Or it could be to encourage short duration parking for shoppers, whilst preventing all-day parking.what is the reason for the specific time restriction?0 -
Yes usually these are found in areas where people work. So it's to stop people parking there at 8:30am and coming back at 6pm, leaving no parking for the residents. By having such a small restriction it minimises the impact on customers or residents.
If it was an area with serious parking problems, like near a railway station, the restriction would usually last all day.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0
