Disc parking
System for regulating parking / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about reusable discs. For single-use discs, see coupon parking.
Disk-parking is a system of allowing time-restricted free parking through display of a parking-disk or clock-disc showing the time at which the vehicle was parked. A patrolling parking attendant can inspect the disk to check whether payment is owed. The system is common in Europe.

The original system had been introduced along with establishing a blue zone area. The blue zones in the city-centers allow for free parking of about 2 hours by using a parking-disk issued by the city while other parking zones may have stricter control by parking meters. The current unified EU parking-disk-regulations allow for a wider range of time restrictions that are indicated on the signs.
