How Many Types of Temporary Parking Space Markings Are There?
1 Answers
Temporary parking space markings come in three types. The first is white-lined parking spaces, which are paid parking spaces charged by the hour. The second is blue-lined parking spaces, which are public and free. The third is yellow-lined parking spaces, which are designated for specific uses, such as government or institutional parking. Yellow solid lines indicate exclusive parking spaces, while yellow dashed lines allow for temporary parking. Parking spaces can also be categorized in many other ways, as many places do not uniformly use the same parking space markings, signs, or indicators. For example, angled parking space markings may restrict parking to certain times, prohibiting parking outside those hours. Parking spaces marked with dashed lines are generally temporary parking spaces, but it’s important to check if there are any time restrictions or if they are designated for special vehicles. When a vehicle enters a temporary parking space, an electronic camera takes a photo. Another photo is taken when the vehicle leaves. If the time between the two photos does not exceed five minutes, no penalty is imposed. However, if it exceeds five minutes, the violation is recorded and uploaded to the traffic police’s violation management system. Precautions for parking in temporary parking spaces: The vehicle must not remain parked for more than five minutes, otherwise it may be deemed illegal parking. Even with a valid reason for appeal, the success rate is very low. When entering a temporary parking space, ensure the entire vehicle is within the marked boundaries. Parking over the lines or outside the space may result in penalties. When parking temporarily on the roadside, the vehicle must stop and leave immediately, not exceeding approximately two minutes. Parking is prohibited in areas with no-parking markings or signs, or within restricted zones.
