Car parking
You must have a valid parking session, a pay and display ticket, or display a valid Blue Badge on arrival when parking on any of our campus car parks. Motor vehicles (including motor cycles, motor scooters and mopeds) may be parked at the university only in the official car parks and then only in the spaces marked out for parking.
There are a number of disabled parking bays in every car park across campus. Find out more about accessibility on campus.
All car park users are expected to observe the university’s parking restrictions. Parking restrictions and penalties are displayed on notices across the university estate and also in the car parking policy. Failure to adhere to this policy is likely to result in the issue of a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).
Visitors are encouraged to travel to the university by public transport where possible. Information on travel and electric vehicle charging can be found on our Environmental Sustainability Travel page.
Any complaints or queries regarding registration or vehicle parking on university property should be emailed to estates-supportteam@salford.ac.uk.
