The move is designed to make parking \u201cfairer\u201d. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all been there. You run out of the shops after spending five minutes too long looking at the special buys at Aldi, but you\u2019re too late. A dreaded parking ticket already sits under your window wiper.<\/p>\n

Well, this nightmare might be a thing of the past with new \u201csaving grace\u201d periods being introduced for parking tickets in NSW.<\/p>\n

The Berejiklian Government has announced a 10-minute leeway on parking fines as a part of a \u201cfairer and more common sense\u201d approach to fines.<\/p>\n

The grace period would apply to drivers who have paid for a physical ticket or coupon within at least one hour of parking.<\/p>\n

Meters that are unable to dispense tickets (such as pay-and-go or multi-space parking meters) were ineligible for the \u201csaving grace period\u201d as are areas in bus lanes and loading zones.<\/p>\n

The changes will go into place on January 31st, 2019.<\/p>\n
