Ballina Shire Council wishes to advise that there may be delays of up to five minutes along The Coast Road between Pat Morton Lookout to the roundabout.
At today’s traffic committee meeting, it was agreed noise-in parking will be mandated.
It was also decided vehicles longer than six metres will not be allowed to park at the northern end of the lot.
“There will be signage there so that rangers can actually police it, at the moment there’s no signage and we thought that was the best way to go,” Ballina Mayor, David Wright, said.
The mayor says signs will be installed as soon as possible.

Don Munro was just getting on a plane to Tasmania when he heard the news. His beloved Lennox Head, the most beautiful unsung surf spot in NSW, was about to be inundated with thousands of visitors.
