Talk:Disc parking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't quite understand the purpose of these clock-face apparatuses. Are they to facilitate time limit enforcement? If so, what is to proclude a person from resetting it during a vehicle's (over)stay in a parking place? LorenzoB (talk) 05:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

It's merily illegal to reset - however if nobody's watching over then it is hard to control. Some people use lunch time to check the car - only heard of one time that they got a ticket for resetting the clock disc on having bad luck with a policeman to stand nearby that day.

Oh, and perhaps you need to understand that disc parking is the easiest level of enforcing parking limitations. It happened that the automobilist clubs (ADAC) were the behind the system to be introduced in order to avoid the more expensive parking limitation systems (parking meter etc). Overstaying in a disc parking lot is not expensive either - about 10-20 EUR or so (in Germany), and same goes for resetting. If some countries do not have that system then they really miss a good option. Guidod (talk) 20:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
