Can Blue Badge holders park free in on-street pay and display bays in Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland Blue Badge guidance says badge holders may park free of charge and without a time limit in on-street pay and display areas unless a local traffic order says otherwise.

The badge must be displayed correctly and local signs still apply.

This applies to eligible on-street parking; off-street council and private car parks can have their own charging rules, so check the signs at the actual location.

Northern Ireland has its own DVA licensing system and parking-enforcement rules in several areas, so local nidirect guidance should be checked rather than assuming that every Great Britain rule or process is identical.
