A resident's parking policy has been in place for ten years. It has been introduced in urban areas where a problem with commuter parking has been identified. Often, demand is exceeded due to car ownership. There is no guarantee of a parking space. There is an annual charge for a permit. Schemes are introduced to deal with an area problem rather than single roads.

• Applications for new schemes should be made to your nearest Area Highway Management Office
• Applications for residents parking permit within Exeter City should be made to Exeter City Council.
• Applications for a residents parking permit in other towns in Devon should be made to your nearest Area Highway Management Office.
