Is motorcycle parking free in Merton?
Yes — free, for petrol and electric motorcycles and mopeds alike. A moped parks in the same solo motorcycle bay as a motorbike and pays the same. Free in motorcycle bays with no time limit, and in permit-holder, shared-use and pay-and-display bays. Park at 90° to the kerb and inside the bay markings.
