• Delivery vehicles will be issued a “B” license plate which allows them access to the city center for loading and unloading between 8 and 10 am and 4 to 6 pm only. There is no restriction on deliveries over the weekend.
• Shop and business owners within the city center will be issued a “Q” license plate which allows them access to their place of business; however, parking within the city center must be off-street.
• Privately-owned vehicles with an “X” license plate may be driven and parked within the city center on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday only.
• Vehicles issued a “Z” license plate may be driven and parked within the city center on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday only.
