Dundee hosts major events that cause road restrictions and towing risk. Here's what drivers need to know about parking, road closures, and towing during Dundee events.
Towing and Parking During Dundee Events — A Driver's Guide
Dundee's growing events calendar — from Dundee Flower and Food Festival to the Dundee Half Marathon, Slessor Gardens concerts, and V&A museum events — can result in temporary road closures and parking restrictions that catch drivers off guard. Here's how to stay smart.
Common Event Road Closures in Dundee
- Dundee Waterfront and City Quay — frequently used for outdoor events, restricting access and parking
- City centre streets — often closed for the Dundee Cycle Road Race and running events
- Seagate and East Port — market days and special events
- Overgate and Murraygate — pedestrianised areas that occasionally expand during major events
How to Avoid Getting Towed in Dundee During Events
- Check Dundee City Council's website for upcoming temporary traffic orders before parking
- Look for temporary "No Parking" signs — these are usually posted 48 hours before an event
- Use one of Dundee's NCP or council car parks during city events rather than on-street parking
