A brilliant map by Dublin City Council map outlines the various parking zones and costs in the county.
It could be useful as many people drive to certain areas not knowing the price of a parking ticket.
Here are the cost and demand of each zone:
Yellow Zone, very high demand, €3.20 per hour
Red Zone, high demand, €2.70 per hour
White Zone, high demand on Sundays - €1.40 per hour
Green Zone, medium demand, €1.60 per hour
Orange Zone, low demand, €1.00 per hour
Blue Zone, some suburban villages, €0.60 per hour
It is not required you pay these prices if you have a parking tag, a residents parking permit, a visitors parking permit or a disabled person’s parking permit.
Dublin City Council state that these zones are in place to make life more pleasant, more orderly, and more convenient for everyone when it comes to parking.
And parking restrictions help eliminate obstructions and reduce congestion, improve road safety, and maximise the availability of on-street parking spaces.
There are several areas in Dublin city where you are not allowed to park.
It is illegal to park in a way which interferes with traffic flow or obstructs or endangers other road users.
If you ignore these restrictions your car is liable to be clamped or towed away.
