Street Parking Around Buchanan Street and Queen Street 1
Buchanan Street is a busy city-centre shopping and transport corridor, so a driver should treat marked bays, loading areas and signed restrictions as location-specific rather than assuming a gap at the kerb can be used for a full visit.
The council also lists another tariff of £2.50 for 0-1 hour, £5 for 1-2 hours, £7 for 2-3 hours and £8 for all day (glasgow.gov.uk). These council tariffs make a designated car park more suitable than relying on short-stay street space.
