What is the difference between blue and white parking lines?

[StAvery]

Parking lines in blue and white have the following differences: 1. Blue parking spaces: Indicate that these are free parking spaces. However, it's important to note that there are two scenarios where penalties may apply. First, parking for more than a day or longer is prohibited in blue spaces to prevent vehicles from occupying them maliciously for extended periods. Additionally, some blue dashed parking spaces may specify time-limited parking, so it's crucial to avoid exceeding the allowed duration. Second, some blue-lined parking spaces may have arrows indicating the parking direction, which should also be observed. 2. White parking spaces: Indicate that these are paid parking spaces. In areas with white lines, roadside signs should be checked to confirm whether parking is actually permitted, as not all white lines on the roadside denote parking spaces. Even in paid parking zones, parking is not always allowed; it depends on the instructions provided by roadside signs, such as 'No parking during the day,' 'Free at night,' 'Penalty for overtime parking,' or 'Charging hours,' etc.
