Restricted Zone location

Square, Forge Lane, Gasworks Lane, Godinton Road, Godinton Way,

No yellow lines
A distinctive feature of the Restricted Parking Zone is that the
Department of Transport has decided carriageway marking and
roadside signage in the zone should be kept to a minimum and as a
consequence, notification that waiting and loading is prohibited is
indicated by signs at the zone entry points and throughout the
zone, not by yellow lines painted on the carriageway.
