Heavy Vehicles

Parking

If your vehicle is heavier than 4.5 tonnes and/or longer than 7.5 metres, you have a one-hour time limit for parking on ANY road or street in the City of Ryde.

You are encouraged to park your vehicle on private property (subject to DA consent) or to make alternative arrangements to park in an approved commercial premises.

City of Ryde Rangers work in partnership with the Roads and Maritime Service and the NSW Police to ensure safety on our roads.

There are heavy penalties for breaches of these rules.

Local roads are for local traffic

There are a number of roads in the City of Ryde that are ‘load limited’. The roads listed below have a three tonne load limit. If your combined vehicle tare weight and load exceeds 3 tonne, you can only use a limit notice road if the destination of the vehicle lies in or on the limit notice road and there is no alternative route by which to reach that destination.

The aim of this restriction is to:

• Protect the surfaces of smaller roads that were not built to handle heavy traffic
• Prevent heavy vehicles using quiet local roads as shortcuts.
