A controlled parking zone, often referred to as a CPZ, is an area where the council have introduced restrictions on parking during certain times. These restrictions only apply to public roads. Other restrictions apply to private land and streets such as council estates. The borough currently has four main controlled parking zones (with mini zones within these): Zone A (Bethnal Green area – six mini-zones), Zone B (Bow and Poplar area - three mini-zones), Zone C (Stepney and Wapping area – four mini-zones) and Zone D (Isle of Dogs area – two mini-zones).
