⚠️ Important Notices

• RPS rules apply: Display a valid ticket (even for the free 30-minute period). Observe area-specific max stays (Caledonia Place is typically in the south-of-Clifton-Park sub-area).
• Clean Air Zone: Clifton Village itself is outside the central CAZ, but charges may apply on certain approach routes; plan your approach.
• Events & maintenance: Occasional bridge works/closures can affect traffic—allow extra time on weekends and holidays.

? Expert Tips

• Stay length: If you need more than 3–4 hours, go straight to West End Car Park; it’s usually faster than hunting for turnover bays.
• Arrive early on Saturdays (by ~09:30) for the best chance on Caledonia Place.
• EV drivers: Consider West End or Clifton College chargers, then walk to the village.

? Future Considerations

• Tariff reviews: Council periodically revises RPS charges; check on-street notices and machines for updates.
