Parking For Blue Badge Holders In Cyprus

EU & UK BLUE BADGES BOTH RECOGNISED IN CYPRUS

 

PARKING ENTITLEMENTS FOR BLUE BADGE HOLDERS

Blue badges provide parking entitlements for people with disabilities and Cyprus recognises all EU and UK blue badges. There are a number of parking bays marked with the blue and white wheelchair disability sign for blue badge holders all over the island. A blue badge holder may also park free of charge and without a time limit on roads where payment is required. Some public car parks also allow blue badge holders to park free of charge.

BLUE BADGE APPROVAL

In 2007, the Cyprus Parliament approved the use of blue badges, coming in line with the rest of the EU. Cypriot authorities introduced their own blue badge scheme and allowed the use of all EU Blue Badges to operate on the island. The installation of designated parking places for blue badge holders followed and they were promptly installed throughout the island on both public roads and in private parking areas.
