How to place the parking disk when parking

Parking in time limites parking

The parking disc is placed at the end of the block in which you start parking. If it is 10:10, you must set the hand to 10:15

Parking outside a time-limited period

If you park outside a time-limited period, and if you plan to remain within the next time limit, you can choose for yourself whether you want to set the parking disc to the nearest neighborhood upon your arrival, or whether you set the parking disc to the time for the start of the time limit

While parked

Please note that the pointer of the P-disk must not be moved during parking at times with time restrictions. You must therefore not move the pointer without moving the car.
