Hi guys,

Only had my licence for less than a year, I travelled to Bondi Beach and saw "2P, 8AM-10PM Permit Holders Excepted" sign on streets.
Never saw them before. How do they work?

Does it just mean I can just park there for 2 hours between 8AM-10PM if I don't have a permit?

Thanks.

  Yes. If you live there or have a permit through other means (a fellow I know owns an apartment but rents the permit out) you can park there as long as you want.

  It's pretty basic they aren't trying to trick you.

  Now this parking sign on the other hand….

    How do they know you live there?

      You apply to the local council for a permit.

    Not difficult.

    Remember - parking signs always start top down.

  Only had my licence for less than a year,

  Then you probably still have the NSW Road User Handbook.

  Please review pages 160-162.

  Thankyou.

  Yes.

  How do they work?

  Permit holders are those people that live in the area.
