Under the Road Traffic Acts 1961 to 2005 (Fixed Charge Offences) Regulations 2006 (S.I. No. 135 of 2006), parking in a cycle lane during the operative hours is a fixed charge offence. The amount of the fixed charge, if paid within 28 days from the date the notice issued, is €40 and if paid within the next 28 days is €60. The enforcement of the offence of parking in a cycle lane is a matter for the Garda Síochána and Local Authorities.
