All these will amount to getting you a parking ticket. The repercussions can be awful consisting of paying a fine or even a suspension of driving license if within 20 days the fine is not paid. With little care and attentiveness, one can easily avoid getting a parking ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Few common mistakes people commit while parking their vehicle are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fail to read the posted signs.<\/li>\n<li>Parking in loading area.<\/li>\n<li>Parking near fire hydrants.<\/li>\n<li>Parking in an area where permit is not valid.<\/li>\n<li>Parking in non designated area for parking (No parking area).<\/li>\n<li>Parking in reserved area.<\/li>\n<li>Parking in handicap parking zone.<\/li>\n<li>Fail to display permit for parking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Few things are to be kept in mind which will help you keep away from parking ticket<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Keep an eye on permanent and temporary signs.<\/strong><br \/>\nBy Temporary Signs it is meant the signs that are posted for construction zones, street repairs and street cleaning, water and sewer line works. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/no-parking-signs\">No parking zones,<\/a> loading zones are the part of permanent signs. These signs should be noticed and are useful to state and follow parking restrictions. They help in free flow of the traffic.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Parking meters should be read.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile parking almost all motorists are in hurry and they may not read the instructions carefully. The day and number of hours the meter is in effect, whether there are rush hour restrictions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/\">Temporary parking signs<\/a> should also be studied.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Keep a distance from the corners of intersections.<\/strong><br \/>\nNever park your vehicle at the end of the block. These areas are used by pedestrians and cyclists.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Don\u2019t park on bus stops.<\/strong><br \/>\nNever stop or park your vehicle on a bus stop. Drivers often stop at bus stop to wait for friends, or use an ATM machine; this can lead to chaos on the roads.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Park safely at schools.<\/strong><br \/>\nNever double park for discharging children from your vehicles. This will put kids in a dangerous position to cross the roads. School signs are designated to maximize visibility as motorist drop or pick up their kids from school streets.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Usage of off street parking.<\/strong><br \/>\nStaying at a meter for a longer time is a violation of the law. Off street parking should be used where the intensity of vehicles is less.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Know the difference between \u201cNo Parking\u201d and \u201cNo Stopping\u201d.<\/strong>If a driver stops in No Stopping zone their vehicle can be towed and they can be charged a fine. In No Parking zone drivers are allowed to pick up or discharge passengers for a period of five minutes.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Never park in residential parking.<\/strong><br \/>\nParking in residential area should be done only in visitors parking. If you park your vehicle in someone else\u2019s parking area it can charge you heavily.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Emergency rules during snow.<\/strong><br \/>\nTo help the crew clear the snow from the streets during winters, always read the signs before parking your vehicle. Your parked car should not block other vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few dos and don\u2019ts which can help you avoid getting a parking ticket.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#888888;\"><strong>DO<\/strong><\/span>..<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the signs and lines and follow the rules.<\/li>\n<li>Clearly display a valid permit where necessary (in your windscreen).<\/li>\n<li>Park within a marked bay.<\/li>\n<li>Always carry a means to pay for your parking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color:#888888;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong><\/span>..<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a chance with parking at any place just because other people have too.<\/li>\n<li>Stop on the yellow line for a short time.<\/li>\n<li>Presuppose that you can park on Sundays unless a sign states it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"related-products\">\n<h3>Like this topic?
