Parking timer description

Parking timer is a very simple tool for car parking . Normally , it is used in France,Belgium ,Germany and Netherland in the Europe. You can buy it in some petrol stations or some  DIY stores , cost you just a little money ! Indeed there are many different materials for these parking discs , like paper made , PVC made and plastic made .But nowadays , plastic and PVC made parking discs are most popular because the material is durable and nice looking .  However , whatever you print on the disc surface , you must print it obey the law locally . Otherwise, it will be illegal ,you can not use the discs in these areas ,and you would be punished by the police.

I think it is a very easy thing to do !  But , please note that different countries has different law , have to be careful of it . Here I make a Germany sample to show you .

The German disc – die Parkscheibe – allows you free parking for a certain time in certain areas. If, for example, you see this sign, it means you can park here for two hours for free as long as you display your parking timer.

How do I set the time ?

The arrow on the timer  points to the arrival time (Ankunftszeit), but … set the timer only show every 30 minutes, so if you arrive a few minutes after, say, 3 o’clock, you set the arrow to point to 3.30, which will give you an almost extra 30 minutes. If you arrive at 3.25, you still only set the arrival time to 3.30. Basically, any time between 3.01 and 3.30 will be set to 3.30. So, if you park in an area where you can stay for two hours, if you’re lucky, you can stay  2 hours and 29 minutes.

Where do I display the parking timer ?

Display it visibly under the windscreen .

Where can I get one ?

Petrol stations and DIY stores sell them for very little money, but if you’d like to be prepared and have one before you go to Germany, you can make your own. Go to  https://www.dvr.de/publikationen/downloads/parkscheibe/ , chose a design (like the picture below) , print it as A4 so that the cut out disc has the required size of 110 mm x 150 mm, cut it out, put it together and use it! Then you can say in true Blue Peter style (this is an English joke) “Here’s one I made earlier!”

But remember: If you do make your own, it MUST have the correct size, font and blue color. Do not print it a bit smaller or when the blue ink is almost empty – you risk being fined!
