Motorcycles parking in Waltham Forest are subject to the same parking restrictions as cars and other vehicles. This includes but is not limited to; council run car parks, on-street pay and display, pay by phone bays, permit bays, and anywhere else cars pay to park or are restricted from parking.

Waltham Forest has virtual permits and payment options, which allows motorcycles to make payment safely and securely, without having to display a paper permit or pay and display ticket.  

For the purposes of permit banding Motorcycles are classed separate from cars, for example if a household has a car with a resident permit and they wish to purchase an additional residential permit for their motorcycle they would pay the ‘1st vehicle’ tariff for the motorcycle.
