Hide AdSignage is in place along main streets, including Lumley Road, to highlight cars can still access the Embassy car park along Tower Esplanade.
However, the entrance to the Festival Car Park has now been moved due to the pedestrianisation of the area up to the Lifeboat Station.
Paul Harrison, Principal Civil Enforcement Officer Parking Services, explained: "With the alterations to Tower Esplanade and the pedestrianisation we are directing traffic down South Parade to the entrance of the Princes Parade car park, which is the new entrance to the Festival Car Park.

It was a quiet start for marshals on Good Friday morning. Francis Wilson said: "I've directed a few cars down South Parade but think the weather may have put people off.
"It's due to be even colder on Monday, so we may not be too busy."
