Clearway

The term clearway is used in several Commonwealth countries to refer to stretches of road or street where parking is prohibited.

In Australia, a clearway is a special road upon which only taxis and buses may stop at the kerb on certain times of the day.

Larger white signs with black or red text indicating the details of the clearway are also sometimes found, featuring an image of the red and blue circle (as on the regular signs) as a prominent feature.

[2] Clearways in New Zealand are almost always enforced by local authority parking wardens, who may also have offending vehicles towed away.

[3] This allows the commuter traffic to flow more freely, but still allows for overnight and daytime parking when the road is not so busy.
