The regulations require that a motorist displays a pay and display ticket or permit immediately upon parking, although in practice, a five-minute period is allowed to enable motorists time to obtain a ticket or visitor permit, return and display it.

Motorists are also allowed five minutes from the expiry time on a pay and display ticket before a Penalty Charge Notice is issued.
