Data sources
Last updated 12 November 2026
The short version. Many of the signs and rules in ParkScout started as open data published by councils and state transport agencies under Creative Commons Attribution licences. Thank you to every publisher below. Each sign's details card says which dataset it came from and when.
Open data can be months or years old and rules change, so always read the sign when you arrive. The data was converted by ParkScout, so any mistakes are ours, not the publisher's.
