‘Pay and display’ ticket-regulated parking place
A blue square with white P and the words 'pay and display'. Indicates a parking area where you must buy a ticket from the machine and display it on your dashboard. Free parking outside the hours shown on the sign, but check carefully — many councils now use ANPR rather than physical tickets, so the same sign may apply.
