Blue Badges help disabled people, and those with certain health conditions, to park closer to their destination.
Blue Badges issued by any local authority or council in the UK and any issued in other countries are valid in York.
All Blue Badge holders who drive or are being dropped off (including by taxi) in the city centre have access at any time. This includes during the restricted footstreet hours of 10.30am and 5.00pm. To access during these restricted hours, the Blue Badge holder will need to present their valid Blue Badge to the barrier staff Goodramgate or Blake Street.
When parking with your valid Blue Badge:
- your badge must be clearly on display
- your badge must only be used in cars where you are the driver or a passenger
- you must display your card clock alongside your Blue Badge, whether or not your parking location is time-limited
Displaying your valid Blue Badge, you can park in a number of locations:
- Blue Badge parking in city centre car parks
- Blue Badge parking in on-street bays
- Blue Badge parking in resident parking bays
- Blue Badge parking on yellow lines
- Alternatives to Blue Badge parking in York.
