Parking ticket machines are locked over New Year's Eve
Once again this year, all municipal parking ticket machines will be locked over New Year's Eve. This has proved successful in previous years. The flaps are blocked so that fireworks cannot be ignited in the dispensing compartment of the machines, thus preventing costly damage. The parking ticket machines will be out of operation from Wednesday, 30 December 2015 until Monday, 04 January 2016.
As no parking tickets can be purchased during this time, a parking disc must be inserted when parking. The length of the permitted parking period can be seen from the signage in the car parks and the lettering on the machines.
