A total of 270 cases in which motor vehicle owners “misused” public car parks were recorded last year, 72 more than in 2015, or 36.4 percent, the Transport Bureau (DSAT) said in a statement yesterday.
According to public car park regulations, a motor vehicle cannot be parked in a car park for more than eight consecutive days, except if the owner has a monthly pass. If the owner breaks the rule, the car park management can ask the Public Security Police (PSP) to clamp the vehicle. The regulations state that if the owner does not pay the fine, the vehicle will be removed after three hours.
