Is motorcycle parking free in Croydon?
Yes — free, for petrol and electric motorcycles and mopeds alike. A moped parks in the same solo motorcycle bay as a motorbike and pays the same. Free in any permit, shared-use or pay-and-display bay as well as motorcycle bays, and free in council car parks. Park at 90° to the kerb. Not in disabled, doctors' or loading bays.
