Is motorcycle parking free in Sutton?
Yes — free in motorcycle bays; car tariff elsewhere, 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 with no time limit in dedicated motorcycle bays, on-street and in car parks. Outside those bays a motorcycle is treated like a car during controlled hours.
