Motorcycles

The resident's permit scheme differs slightly for motorcycles. The main differences to the standard scheme for cars are as follows:

• The charge for a resident's permit for a motorcycle only is £50 per annum regardless of engine size;
• Resident's permits for motorcycles are 'virtual', electronic permits administered through the City Council's Pay by Phone scheme rather than physical paper permits that need to be displayed on the vehicle;
• As well as allowing the motorcycle to park in residents' bays in the permit holder's zone of residence, a resident's permit for a motorcycle also allows the vehicle to be parked in any motorcycle bay borough-wide without further payment;
• A motorcycle can be added to an existing permit for a car (a standard £10 administration fee applies). The full annual charge is payable if a motorcycle is on the same permit as a car with the applicable charge being dependent upon the engine size of the car on the permit.

A resident's permit for a motorcycle only is set at 50% of the annual motorcycle permit charge.
