Local Residents Access

Every effort will be made to discourage illegal parking in residential estates and on side streets. Barriers, signage, street cones and event-dedicated towing service will be in operation. In order to help us with these efforts, An Garda Síochána & Stewards will be accepting the following for local access:

  1. Driving Licence with householder’s address displayed (If your driver’s licence doesn’t display your Bray address, please have a utility bill available with your name and Bray address ready for inspection)

Road closures and traffic restrictions will be managed by An Garda Sochána.

Visitors are encouraged, where possible, to use available public transport services. 

Illegal parking causes significant traffic disruption, impacts residents, and can block emergency vehicles. Please plan your journey, park responsibly, arrive early, and stagger return journeys to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
