Comment[edit]

This is very USocentric. Also, perhaps there might be space here for a discussion of the extent to which parking regulations are, or are seen as, revenue generators rather than just there to enable traffic to flow smoothly. 82.69.28.55 20:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with traffic ticket?[edit]

I strongly disagree with this proposed merger. Bearian 12:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Parking Violation[edit]

It's hardly credible that parking violations apply only to motor vehicles. I suppose anyone parking a horse-drawn vehicle (eg a brewery delivery carriage, old style) in the middle of a highway, would not escape a violation ticket and possibly this person would be the subject to criminal charges as well?

Spinningspark, you changed the caption of the Sweden road sign from "No parking" to "No waiting". Are there separate No parking and No waiting signs in Sweden, or is the same sign used for both? An English translation of the image description "Förbud att parkera fordon" gives "Prohibition on parking vehicles". Can you justify your edit? Jay (talk) 17:57, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The signs were uploaded as Swedish signs, but they are precisely the same as signs used in the UK, and I think generally in Europe (since road signs were harmonised while we were still in the EU). The section is about Europe, not Sweden in particular, and the English language designations of those signs are "no waiting" and "no stopping". I'm no expert, but I think they mean exactly the same in Sweden; this site designates the Swedish sign as "no parking or waiting". I read that has having the same meaning as the UK – a greater restriction than plain "no parking". Also, the Swedish Transport Agency clearly define "no parking" as including "no waiting".
