Explanation

In a time-limited parking area you must display the ticket or permit that authorises parking. Under Article 156.1.b of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), as worded by RD 518/2026, municipal by-laws may provide for the vehicle to be removed or immobilised when it has no permit to park in time-limited areas or when it stays for more than three times the time paid for, in addition to the corresponding fine.
