Read more about payment methods here Why is it important to park correctly? By parking correctly you help make the city safe and accessible. The parking rules ensure that roads, loading zones and walkways are not blocked. Ambulances, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles must always have a clear road. A wrongly parked car can delay traffic in a situation where every minute is precious for saving a life. The parking rules also ensure the safety of all unprotected road users.

When you choose a designated parking space in a garage or outdoors you know you are parked in a place away from danger to yourself or others.
