Three new types of markings are added in 2020! Parking is allowed, but if you go wrong, you will be deducted 3 points and fined 200!

“Parking is difficult and the fees are expensive” has become the common difficulty faced by the majority of car owners. The parking lot near work is “too expensive to park in” and the roadside is “too wild to park in”. Whenever you want to go somewhere, you always have to consider these questions:

“Can I park there?”

"Is there a parking place?"

"The parking fee is so expensive, forget it and don't drive."

The timely solution to the car owners' worries is here!

Recently, many free parking lines have been added,

either free all day, or free for a limited time,

all of which are good news for car owners !

Have a look around you?

1. Free parking when encountering this kind of sign line

1. Blue sign line, free parking space

There are already many white parking spaces on the road. It’s common, but have you ever seen a parking space with blue lines?

In recent years, parking spaces with blue markings have appeared across the country, and parking is free. But what is very strange is that even though parking is free, some car owners have received fines? what is going on? At present, there are three main colors of parking spaces: white, yellow, and blue.

According to the provisions of "Road Traffic Signs and Markings": white markings are used for paid parking spaces, and yellow markings are used for exclusive parking spaces (such as taxis, corporate shuttles or school buses and other collective vehicles) Stops), blue markings for free parking spaces.

In other words, the law has stipulated that parking spaces with blue markings are free, so you can park with confidence.

However, some car owners still receive tickets. There are two main situations.

First, blue parking spaces are prohibited from maliciously occupied by motor vehicles for a long time, such as for more than a day or longer. If you occupy it for a long time, you will attract a traffic police ticket. Some parking spaces with blue dotted lines also indicate limited parking time, such as a 20-minute time limit. In this case, timeout should also be avoided.

Blue dotted parking spaces are limited-time parking

Second, blue parking spaces are generally marked with parking directions. The parking direction of the vehicle must be consistent with the direction of the arrow, otherwise it may Got ticketed.

Pay attention to the arrows on the parking spaces↑

In addition, when the word "taxi" is appended to the blue parking space and the parking space markings are solid lines, it means This is a special parking space for taxis. If the parking space marking line is a dotted line, it means that taxis are only allowed to park for a short period of time to pick up and drop off passengers.

2. "Green parking spaces", limited to 20 minutes

Recently, many "parking spaces" uniformly painted green have appeared in Hangzhou, with a line of words written on them: Limited time. 20 minutes.

This kind of "green berth" is designed for "emergency" and is mainly distributed near wet markets, public toilets, convenience supermarkets, and pharmacies to ease short-term driving such as buying food, going to the toilet, buying breakfast, and buying medicine. Difficult question, temporary parking within the specified time will not be canceled.

Currently, the “green berth” is only on trial in Hangzhou. But many car owners believe that this kind of parking space is a kind of humane management and should be promoted nationwide. If “green parking” can be promoted across the country in the future, it will also be good news for car owners.

3. "3-minute parking space"

I believe that all car owners are familiar with this kind of parking sign. In 2017, my country launched the "three-minute parking space", which consists of a yellow dotted line. Once the timeout is exceeded, 3 points will be deducted and a penalty of 200 will be imposed.

Previously, a survey showed that in the first quarter, the most common violation was illegal parking. There are not a few car owners who accidentally commit "illegal parking". So, where are the parking minefields?

2. Don’t touch these parking minefields!

1. Temporary or long-term parking signs are prohibited.

On the roadside, where there is a "temporary or long-term parking prohibited" sign, this no-parking sign is the most obvious. If you still park, you will be sent to the traffic police for any disagreement. money.

2. Yellow no parking lines.

Yellow no-parking lines are also used to indicate that parking on the roadside is prohibited. The length of the line indicates the prohibited parking range.

3. Yellow grid lines.

Yellow grid lines are used to mark areas where parking is prohibited for any reason. They are generally distributed at intersections or entrances and exits of units (such as government agencies, hospitals, schools, fire escapes, etc.), mainly to prevent temporary parking. Parking and causing traffic jams.

4. Highway intersection diversion lines.

The white "V"-shaped solid line area on the highway, that is, the diversion line, mainly plays the role of controlling, guiding, and warning traffic. Some car owners mistake the diversion lines for "parking spaces". This behavior is both dangerous and illegal.

Diversion lines are a type of prohibited marking. Vehicles must drive according to the prescribed route and are not allowed to drive over or over the lines, nor are they allowed to turn around or park at will in the diversion line area.

5. Near gas stations and other places. No parking is allowed within 30 meters of bus stops, gas stations, first aid stations and in front of fire brigade (stations).

6. Tunnels and other places.

No parking is allowed at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and road sections within 50 meters of the above locations.

7. Crosswalks, construction sections, and non-motorized lanes.

8. Blind road.

Some car owners wonder why they are still fined even though their cars are parked in the parking space and heading in the same direction. It's very likely that you parked your car on a blind road!

Here, the editor would like to remind everyone that if you park illegally on a road section with obvious prohibition signs, you will be deducted 3 points and fined 200 yuan. If you park on a road section without obvious prohibition signs, but If the vehicle is parked illegally and affects road traffic safety (impeding the passage of others), a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed.

In places where parking is not allowed, even if you stop and go, it will still be classified as "illegal parking".

The matter of "parking" sounds simple,

but it is also the easiest to get "violated".

So, how much does it cost you to park your car each month?
