Parking controls - keeping Renfrewshire's traffic moving
We create and manage traffic orders to keep our roads safe for everyone. These orders say where people can - and can't - park their vehicles. For example, we paint yellow lines and create loading areas for shops and commercial properties.

In Paisley
- Bicycle racks are also available throughout the pedestrian zone and motorcycle bays are located around the town centre.
- Shopmobility (wheelchair/scooter) for access to town centre facilities is also available free, please telephone 0141 889 0441 for further information.
- Metered parking controls ensure that town centre on street parking bays are not blocked all day. This encourages turnover of spaces freeing them to be used by many vehicles.
