The new Traffic and Parking improvements on Cemetery Road announced recently (Press Release 876/2025 of 20 November) have now been introduced.

The works have included a full resurfacing of Cemetery Road, which had been in poor condition and required attention to ensure a smoother and safer experience for all road users.

As previously announced, two new Pay & Display Zones have been introduced to the east and west of the Cemetery entrance, providing much-needed short-stay parking for cemetery visitors, nearby commercial premises and church services. The Pay & Display parking will be free for the first hour, with a fee of £1.00 for each additional hour thereafter. After hours, the bays on the east will provide free parking and the west will be available to North District Zone Permit Holders only, thereby increasing parking availability and flexibility in the area.

To further enhance accessibility, a timed accessible bay has been introduced at the entrance of the Cemetery, reflecting the Government’s ongoing commitment to improving accessibility options across Gibraltar.

New loading and unloading bays have been demarcated, operational during daytime hours and reverting to free parking after hours to ensure efficient use of the space. In addition to this, a Red Zone clearway has been established to always keep the area clear for funerals and daily operational access requirements, ensuring that the solemnity and order of funeral services are maintained.

A new motorcycle bay has been designated to accommodate motorcycle users, whilst a new asphalt speed ramp has been installed to calm traffic speeds in the area, improving safety for both pedestrians and vehicles, particularly during funerals and periods of commercial activity.

Two new cycle racks are now installed which provide parking for four bicycles at the entrance of the Cemetery.
