The road is under the control of the Beijing traffic authorities and local restrictions apply. Roads around the Kerry Centre are similar. Whilst the local authorities generally take a benign view of British diplomatic vehicles, parking tickets are issued from time to time to any car parked in a No Parking zone. The Embassy does not pay parking fines.
