• PARKING

In town areas parking places are usually designated by road-surface markings in three different
colours, as follows:

Blue lines indicate a “pay and display” parking place. An accompanying sign gives the relevant
details including paying hours and parking charges. Charges vary from town to town.
The parking receipt must be displayed on the dashboard inside the car. Payment can be made
either at local parking meters with coins, or by purchasing a “scratch and display” tag at
tobacconists’ or newspaper shops.

White lines indicate a free-of-charge parking place. An adjacent sign may indicate a time
restriction requiring that a parking disc be set to time of arrival and displayed on the dashboard.

Yellow lines indicate a parking place reserved for special categories of users (such as disabled
motorists, local residents, municipal services and utilities) holding a permit issued by the relevant
Municipality.
