When parking at any location, make sure:

  • you display your badge and all rules observed. You can also park on double yellow lines provided you are not causing an obstruction.
  • check signage at the roadside or in your chosen location to follow local parking rules.

For more information on using your Blue Badge, read Rights and responsibilities document in the download section.

Using your Blue Badge

With a Blue Badge you can:

  • Park for up to three hours on a single or double yellow line, only if there are no loading restrictions indicated by yellow kerb markings and/or signage if applicable. The clock on the badge must be set to show your time of arrival. For more information please view the 'Blue Badge Rights and Responsibilities' document in the Download section.
  • Park without time limit at a pay and display 'on street' parking bay free of charge, unless signage advises otherwise.

The badge can only be used where the holder is a passenger to or from the parking location.

You can also use your Blue Badge throughout the European Union, although the terms may vary between countries. Check EU Blue Badge rules before you go.

If you move out of Wolverhampton, you can still use the badge until it expires. When your badge needs renewing you should contact the council where you are living.

You should not hold more than one Blue Badge at any given time or share your Blue Badge. Please see Blue Badge Misuse for more information (link)
