About The parking-ban zone, the parking disc and the parking garage: which statement is correct?
- When setting the parking disc I round my arrival time down, to the previous whole or half hour.
- At a parking garage you pay when you enter, together with taking the ticket.
- The parking-disc duty applies to every vehicle parked in a blue zone, including motorcycles.
- ✓ A parking-ban zone applies to both sides of the road, even if the entry sign stands on only one side.
Correct answer: A parking-ban zone applies to both sides of the road, even if the entry sign stands on only one side.
Explanation
A parking-ban zone applies to both sides of the road, even if the entry sign stands on only one side. This differs from a loose E1 sign (parking ban) or E2 sign (stopping ban), which both only govern the side where the sign stands
Why learners get this wrong
- The parking disc is rounded UP to the next whole or half hour, not down. Rounding down wrongly grants extra parking time
- On entry you take a ticket at the barrier; payment happens before exiting, at the payment machine or the exit, based on the elapsed time
- The parking-disc duty applies to motor vehicles with MORE than two wheels. An ordinary motorcycle (2 wheels) falls outside this
