Roadside parking is available here and is chargeable 8am-8pm on weekdays, and for shorter hours at weekends. This machine covers the spaces along this side of the road; there are double-yellow lines on the other side, apart from the semi-circle in the background, where the minibus is parked, which is for blue-badge holders and is free.
The sign at the top of the pole is illegible from this exact angle because of the reflection of the sun, but it says "Pay here for parking, display ticket" alongside the familiar 'P' in a blue circle.
The additional sign next to the machine is a temporary one and advises that parking will be suspended on Sunday because of the remembrance parade (see
SZ0891 : Bournemouth: parking suspension notice on Braidley Road).
St. Stephen's Road crosses in the background and the tower of that saint's church can just be seen rising above the trees on the right.
