How to park when Road trip in Australia ?
1 Answer
Parking fee standard: There are both paid and free parking lots. The parking fee in the city area is 2-10 Australian dollars per hour, while it is relatively cheaper in the suburbs, generally ranging from 0.5-2 Australian dollars. Parking precautions: 1. Some areas are only for parking for disabled people, and there are also Permit Zone / Resident Zone / Loading Zone, which are only for vehicles with special permits. Parking in the wrong place will result in a fine. 2. The parking signs in Australia are very clear: red letters indicate no parking, while green letters indicate parking times (including the days of the week and the time period for parking), as well as regulations on parking angles. Parking violations or exceeding the time limit will result in heavy fines. 3. Before parking, pay special attention to whether there are signs such as 'No Standing' (no temporary parking or picking up passengers), 'No Stopping' (no parking, but temporary parking to pick up passengers is allowed), and 'No Parking' (no parking of vehicles). There will be a one-way or two-way arrow below each sign, indicating whether parking is prohibited or allowed from the left or right side of the sign pole. 4. Many parking spaces in the city area have clear parking times, such as 15 minutes, half an hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. The parking signs on the roadside will clearly indicate this. If the car exceeds the time limit, it must be moved to ensure that there are always parking spaces available for those in need in the city area. 5. Unattended parking lots mostly use coin-operated machines for payment, and the parking ticket should be placed under the windshield inside the car for inspection. 6. Not all supermarkets have free parking, so please pay attention to the parking signs in the surrounding area.
