How are illegally parked vehicles penalized?

[TuckerDella]

Penalties for illegal parking are as follows: Penalties when the driver is present: 1. The traffic police may point out the illegal act, issue an oral warning, and order the driver to leave immediately; 2. If the driver refuses to leave, and the parked vehicle obstructs the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine will be imposed and an "Illegal Parking Notice" will be issued. Penalties when the driver is absent: In addition to issuing a ticket, if the parked vehicle obstructs the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police department has the authority to tow the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a location designated by the traffic management department of the public security authority. The procedure for handling illegal parking is: Within three days of receiving the ticket, bring your driver's license, vehicle license, cash or bank card to the local administrative office (or traffic police station) to pay the fine.
