What are the consequences of not paying for road parking?
2 Answers
Failure to pay parking fees will result in fines. Taking Beijing as an example, there is a time limit for paying parking fees. If the fees are not paid, fines will be imposed. Parking fees should be paid after the vehicle leaves the parking space, with a maximum payment period of 30 days. If the fees remain unpaid after the deadline, the district parking management department will demand payment in accordance with relevant regulations and impose fines on the parker depending on the severity of the case. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: Currently, Beijing's roadside electronic parking fee collection system is connected to the traffic management system, allowing timely electronic reminders to be sent to parkers. In the future, Beijing will also consider including unpaid parking fees in the personal credit system. Note 2: Starting from July 1, 2019, electronic parking fee collection will be fully implemented in the six urban districts of Beijing and Tongzhou roads. On May 8, officials from the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission and the Beijing Parking Affairs Management Center stated that roadside electronic parking fees can be paid through banks in the future.
Seeing this question reminds me that forgetting to pay for roadside parking can cause serious trouble. That time I was in a hurry and didn't pay, only to receive an 80-yuan ticket the next day - I kept cursing my own carelessness. What's worse, the fine kept increasing after the payment deadline, nearly doubling to almost 200 yuan in half a month. Some cities even link it to credit systems, where excessive unpaid fees could affect future car or home loans. The most extreme case is how smart surveillance poles can now add delinquent plates to blacklists, with wheel clamps deployed on next parking. So now I set payment reminders on my phone - after all, a few dozen yuan in parking fees beats hundreds in fines. Oh, and cameras on certain routes can even track delinquent vehicles to residential gates - really no room for侥幸心理 (wishful thinking).
