Kerbnow app reading a UK parking sign and showing the answer in seconds

How it works

Up and running in seconds.

1

Point the camera

Aim at the sign on the kerb. Works on faded signs and small print.

2

Wait two seconds

Kerbnow reads the restrictions and matches them against the current day and time.

3

Get the answer

"Yes, free until 6:30 pm" or "Move it now". Plus a short reason.

Why people use it

Every UK sign covered

Single yellows, double yellows, red routes, single reds, loading bays, resident zones, pay-and-display, controlled parking zones.

Faded signs included

Kerbnow reads worn-down, faded lettering that you'd struggle to make out yourself in a hurry.

Works on multi-tier signs

Signs that stack three restrictions on one pole get fully parsed, not just the top one.

Shows the reasoning

Every answer comes with the rule it was based on, so you can double-check.

What people say

"Read a sign covered in small print in about two seconds. Brilliant."

David O.

"Reads the whole sign, not just the big bit. Saved me a ticket already."

Sophie T.

"Used to puzzle over signs in the cafe. Now I just point and go."

Alex M.

"Worked on a faded sign I could barely read myself."

Jade P.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work at night?

Yes. Tap the torch button on the camera screen to light the sign up, then scan as normal.

What about handwritten or council-edited signs?

Kerbnow flags signs that contradict themselves or look unofficial, and tells you to find another spot.

Do I need an internet connection?

To read a new sign, yes. It is one quick round trip of about two seconds. If the signal drops you can save the photo and Kerbnow finishes the scan once you are back online.

How accurate is it?

It quotes its source rule alongside each answer. If the sign is genuinely ambiguous, Kerbnow says so rather than guessing.
