How is illegal parking of small vehicles handled?
2 Answers
Obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians will result in a fine. Here are the relevant details: 1. Article 93 stipulates: "For violations of road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding parking or temporary stopping of motor vehicles, traffic police or relevant authorities should first point out the illegal act, issue a verbal warning, and order immediate departure. 2. On-the-spot penalty: If the driver refuses to leave and the vehicle obstructs other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police will issue an on-the-spot penalty decision imposing a fine. When the driver is not present, after the vehicle receives a ticket, the driver must report to the designated traffic police department within 15 working days to handle the penalty. Failure to handle it on time will result in late fees, so it is advisable to address the ticket promptly.
I once parked illegally and got a ticket. Later, I found out that illegal parking for cars usually results in a fine of around 200 yuan and may also lead to point deductions. That time, I parked too long on a roadside in the city, and a traffic officer came to issue the ticket. I had to go to the traffic police station to pay the fine, and delaying until the next day would incur late fees. I advise fellow drivers to pay attention to parking signs and avoid parking in prohibited areas, such as near yellow lines or fire hydrants, especially during peak hours when enforcement is stricter. Nowadays, many places have electronic surveillance, and handling it promptly through mobile apps like 12123 can save a lot of hassle.
