Parking without a valid permit can lead to significant penalties. If you're parked in a space that requires a permit and you don’t have one (even if it's pending arrival), you risk receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and may even be towed.
Here’s a summary of relevant infractions and associated penalties:
| Infraction | Description |
|---|---|
| PCN 12 | Parked without clearly displaying a valid permit or pay & display ticket in a shared use parking place. |
| PCN 85 | Parked without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying a valid physical permit where required. |
If you're waiting for a permit to arrive, it's best to avoid parking in restricted areas to prevent any fines or towing. You can apply for a visitor parking permit online.
