Parking risk levels explained

The colours#

Each parking spot is coloured by enforcement history within 150 metres over the last 7 days:

P Green Quiet this week

P Yellow Some enforcement

P Orange Patrolled often

P Red ring Warden active now

• Green — low risk, little or no recent enforcement.
• Yellow — some recent enforcement nearby.
• Orange — frequent enforcement nearby.

The red pulsing ring#

A pulsing red ring around a spot means a warden was reported active within 800 metres right now. Private car parks never show the red ring — council wardens don’t patrol them.

Parking types#

P Street

P🏢 Public

P🔒 Private

P🏠 Residential

• Street parking — kerbside space, shown as a plain P marker.
• Public car parks — council-run or open to everyone.
• Private car parks — belong to businesses; only park there if you’re entitled to. They’re enforced by private operators, not council wardens.
• Residential zones — need a permit.

Whatever the type, the marker’s colour always shows the enforcement risk described above.

Where the data comes from#

Risk ratings are built from the community’s own warden reports. Parking details come from community submissions, council open data and OpenStreetMap — some imported entries carry a “verify locally” hint until drivers confirm them on the ground.
