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 can read worn-down lettering you can barely make out yourself.

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

"Pointed it at a sign covered in small print and got the answer in two seconds."

David O.

"Finally something that reads the whole sign, not just the headline."

Sophie T.

"Two-tier sign that contradicts itself? Kerbnow flagged it and told me to find another spot."

Marcus B.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work at night?

Yes. The camera has low-light mode for sign reading after dark.

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?

Yes. Reading a new sign needs a connection, a single fast round-trip of about two seconds.

How accurate is it?

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