A Blue Badge holder travelling either as a driver or passenger can park for free in disabled parking bays and you may be exempt from other parking restrictions.The Blue Badge enables a vehicle to park in many places where other motorists cannot, such as on-street parking meter spaces, on-street pay-and-display spaces, disabled person’s parking spaces and over single or double yellow lines.
