What to Do If You Get a Parking Ticket in a Parking Space?

[MacIsla]

The parking space may have markings but is not recognized by traffic authorities; the parking space has time restrictions; the parking space has specific requirements for vehicle orientation (e.g., parking in the wrong direction); the vehicle is not entirely within the marked lines (e.g., over the line); some special parking spaces may have vehicle type restrictions. If none of these five situations apply, you may consider appealing the penalty. Before appealing, pay the fine first, then visit the local traffic division to understand the violation details, such as reviewing surveillance footage to check if the enforcement was ambiguous. This can help with a successful appeal. Before applying for a review, make copies of your ID card and the penalty decision (no need to copy your driver's license). Bring the originals and copies to the relevant office. When filling out the administrative reconsideration application, clearly explain the source of the violation. If you have video or third-party evidence, it will be helpful. After submission, wait patiently for the result. The reviewing authority (either the local public security agency or the higher-level traffic management authority) must issue a ruling within five days of receiving the appeal.
