Can parking tickets be paid online?
2 Answers
Parking tickets can be paid online, either directly at a bank self-service payment machine or through the Alipay app. Article 63 of the Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations stipulates that temporary parking of motor vehicles on the road shall comply with the following provisions: 1. No parking is allowed in sections with no-parking signs or markings, sections with isolation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, crosswalks, or construction zones; 2. No parking is allowed at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 50 meters of these locations; 3. No parking is allowed at bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or in front of fire stations, or within 30 meters of these locations, except for vehicles using these facilities; 4. Doors shall not be opened or passengers allowed to board or alight before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, and opening doors shall not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians; 5. When parking on the roadside, vehicles shall stay close to the right side of the road, and the driver shall not leave the vehicle. After passengers board or alight or goods are loaded or unloaded, the vehicle shall depart immediately; 6. City buses shall not stop to pick up or drop off passengers outside designated bus stops.
Last time I also got a parking ticket myself, and paying the fine online was super convenient. Generally, you can just scan the QR code with Alipay or WeChat, click into the city services to find the traffic fine entry, enter the ticket number to pay, and it's done in seconds. Remember to double-check the ticket information to avoid mistakes. Most cities support this method, saving you the hassle of queuing at the bank or traffic office. If you're not entirely sure about the process, ask a friend with experience nearby or try downloading the local traffic APP. It's best to handle it promptly to avoid additional late fees. Overall, the experience is smooth and suitable for busy car owners like us to get things done quickly. Some APPs even allow you to check historical records for easier management later on.
