Here’s a tip to help you avoid a parking fine if you’re a Sydney driver – moving your car just a few spots (or even around the corner) before the expiry of a timed parking restriction may not be enough to avoid getting a parking ticket.The SMH reported yesterday that a woman lost her appeal against a $79 parking fine she was given even though she moved her car before the 2-hour parking limit expired, into a spot around the corner.To avoid a parking fine, you need to leave the “parking sector” – and it looks like that’s a bit of a grey area:
“A parking sector… is usually an area between two [sign-posted]one-directional arrows, unless indicated otherwise. Generally a zone would not extend beyond one street, but we’d have to check with [the]council if this is the case here.”
The woman who was fined was parked in One Island Drive, Pyrmont.
