AUTO BILD ALLRAD 7/2022: Issue preview

Cars are for driving! Of course, that applies to everyone, but the nimbus of free travel sticks to the 4×4 vehicle in particular. But reality looks different. On average, a car in Germany is moved for one hour a day; He stands for 23 hours. And parking is the biggest challenge. Many cities have taken it upon themselves to reduce parking space and make driving into the city unattractive in this way. And once you’ve finally found a parking space, it’s not uncommon for the German official mold to come trotting along. I felt the same way in Hamburg recently. I got hold of a free space in a parking ticket zone and I was happy that e-cars didn’t have to take a ticket. But you need a parking disc. It wasn’t in my car, but willing to tell my arrival time, I wrote down “18.50” on a piece of paper. In good faith, that’s enough. If it doesn’t, I had to learn 15 minutes later and 20 euros poorer. Because: The parking disc is an official traffic sign. It must be 10 centimeters wide, 15 high and blue. Everything else does not apply, with one exception: Electric parking discs are permitted if the start of parking is automatically set when the engine is switched off, the time is in 24-hour format, the numbers are at least two centimeters high, “Arrival time” is above the display and the parking traffic sign 314 is shown.

Also important, for both electric and manual parking discs: The arrival time MUST be set to the nearest half or full hour. Otherwise there is a risk of a fine of up to 30 euros. On the other hand, you could park for 61 to 120 minutes without a parking disc…
