1P parking - 1hour free parking?!

[shmoo]

edit

bah.

[jackerz]

if the sign says 1P and has times, thats 1 hour between those times FREE

if it has ticket underneath it, you pay.

outside of those hours is for as long as you like.

if there is NO ticket etc, just the 1P, its FREE.....F.R.E.E

if thats the case, write a letter to the shire, saying what has happened, and it will most likely be overturned...like i have done about 15 times.

by the way, for those playing at home.... F.R.E.E

[jackerz]

Fight what?!!? he parked in a bay and did NOT buy a ticket for said bay- he did the wrong thing and got caught. nothing to fight.

there is everything to fight.

he did not have to purchase a ticket.

[melshot]

1P means 1 hour maxmimum of paid parking. Not free parking.

Disagree, The Carousel Shopping center have the 1P signs near the post office and theres no ticket thinga ma bobbies there... So im not sure thats right =/

I got a ticket for parking my bike in a "car" bay.
However im fighting it, letter to the CoPP as well all sent and posted waiting on a reply. Its absurd that I can't park in a bay because my vehicle is a bike, I even paid for a ticket and displayed it in the "dash", no were on the signage does it indicate its for CARS only. bunch o cunts, the lot of them.

I like it. I don't think I've ever seen it state that the vehicle must be a car. Be interested to hear outcome.

Polish, have you got picture of the actual sign where you parked? The one in your post looks like you cut it from somewhere else. There are very few places in CoP that are not fee payable parking during work hours.

[Lord Farquaad]

Its in city of perth's by-laws. There's no sign to say you can't park your car up on the footpath next to central park, but you'll get a fine if you do.

[jackmbee]

Yes but thats stretching it a bit. The footpath is not a designated parking area.

If there is a sign thats states you can park there they should have to notify you that it is for cars only.

Edit: I do note that this is done on the City of Perth website.

[Lord Farquaad]

There's no way someone will get off it based on that alone.

[jackmbee]

agreed

[shmoo]

road rules aren't displayed on signs either, you're just expected to know them.

[jaydawg]

you cant park a bike there if it is painted for car bays otherwise you can....

ps
get caught wiping off the chalk and it is an offence as well.....they would give the vehicle a ticket and let it go to court and you have to attend to say it wasnt you and you still get farked around

Wouldn't you be able to say something along the lines of why are you drawing Graffiti on my custom bike. Its my bike and if i don't want chalk on my Tyre ill clean it. If the parking inspector wants to record my parking times get another system.

I like all your points, however. the sign says parking. it does not say bike parking nor CAR parking it simply says parking. if i paid the 4.50$ or what ever it was, what fucking difference does it make if i park a 747 there, im not outside the "bay" boundries and i have paid the tax to stop my vechicle there.
and road rules, sure thing, we do learn them we must learn them before we get our license. We are also told if we are approaching a 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 zone, weather its one way only, if its commecial vehicle parking only, if its TAXI only parking.

In summary: fuck you CoPp.

What difference does it make??? Its in breach of the City of Perth Local Laws.

"That's not fair I didn't know" doesn't get you too far mate.

[jackmbee]

Road rules do not vary between "Cities".
Parking is covered by by-laws and vary from "City to City". i.e. Nedlands does not clearly state that motorcycles cannot park in car bays but does state that cars cannot park in motorcycle bays.
True ignorance of the law is no excuse...

You could, but I would suspect that it is covered in the by-laws as an action they are allowed to undertake. On the City of Nedlands website it says to avoid an infringement "never remove chalk marks on tyres".

It would be a bit of a ludicrous argument that they are damaging your bike given that the chalk will easily rub off, or be driven off.

So why do we have speed limit signs? How come the government doesnt just expect people to look up some local laws for the area they are driving through?

This is partly why I am fighting it, it is unreasonable to expect the citizen to look up local parking laws and council by laws in each and every area he or she is parking, especially with such high variations on signage.
