If you're talking about parking at County Hall for Norwich City matches, the general consensus is that it's still one of the better options, but getting out isn't quite the breeze it used to be.

🚗 After the Match
Leaving County Hall itself is usually straightforward compared with parking closer to Carrow Road.
The biggest delays tend to be on Martineau Lane, Bracondale and the routes back towards the A47/A140, where post-match traffic builds up.
Road closures and pedestrian management around Carrow Road immediately after the final whistle can slow traffic throughout the area.
Many regulars find that waiting 15 to 20 minutes after full-time can make a noticeable difference, allowing the main surge of cars and pedestrians to clear. (This is general supporter experience rather than official guidance.)
👍 Advantages of County Hall
Roughly a 10-minute walk to the ground.
Easier access to the southern side of Norwich and the A47 than city-centre car parks.
Avoids much of the congestion around the station and Riverside.
👎 Drawbacks
If Norwich have a near-capacity crowd, traffic can still back right up onto the surrounding roads.
Midweek evening matches can be slower because of commuter traffic mixing with football traffic.

My View

For anyone coming in from the south or west of Norwich, I'd still rate County Hall as one of the best matchday parking spots. You might sit in traffic for 10-20 minutes after a big game, but it's generally less stressful than trying to get out of the Riverside or station areas.
