The Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 to 2006 are currently being reviewed and updated in my Department.

Road authorities have power under the 1997 regulations to prohibit the parking of large vehicles on a public road, at either a particular location on a public road or in a particular zone.

The road authority parking regulations can be enforced by the Garda Síochána and traffic wardens and authorised persons (vehicle clamping operators).
