Waivers
Waivers allow vehicles to park on yellow lines where there is no alternative or when loading and unloading is likely to exceed the normal maximum period of 20 minutes. In Hastings, they can also be used in parking bays.
Due to the narrow roads in Rye, waivers are not available. Please see information about trade permits instead.
