What do the different parking bay markings mean in Gibraltar?

Question

Accepted Answer

In Gibraltar's managed parking areas, white-lined bays are free, yellow-lined bays are for residents' permit holders and blue-lined bays are pay and display. Pay and display charges generally apply Monday to Friday 09:00 to 19:00 and Saturday 09:00 to 14:00, with parking free outside those hours and on Sundays and public holidays unless signs say otherwise.
Bay markings
White lines: free parking, open to everyone.
Yellow lines: residents' permit holders for that zone only.
Blue lines: pay and display.
This is the convention used by the Gibraltar Tourist Board for areas such as Grand Parade. Gibraltar does not use a red-bay system. Loading bays, disabled bays and motorcycle bays are marked and signed separately, and loading bays in residential zones revert to residents' parking outside their operating hours.
When pay and display applies
Under the Pay and Display (Chargeable Hours) Order, charges in standard pay and display zones apply 09:00 to 19:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00 to 14:00 on Saturday. Outside those hours, and on Sundays and public holidays, parking in those bays is free. Some locations have their own hours (the airport and Romney car park, for example), so always read the signs on the meter or bay.
How to pay
Pay at the meter or online through Gibraltar Car Parks' parking portal or by scanning the QR code on signs. If you pay online you do not need to display a ticket, because enforcement officers can see payments in real time.
Penalties
Parking without paying, overstaying or using a residents' bay without the correct permit can lead to a Fixed Penalty Notice. Obstructive vehicles can be towed.
