Attention, drivers! Here in Salzburg there threaten juicy parking penalties!
In Salzburg, drivers face high penalties, especially for parking in certain places. As reported 5min, short parking times can already lead to fines of up to 400 euros. This is confirmed by reports from those affected for the mere turning or short -term holding on these areas to the cash register. A reader even reported a penalty of 395 euros for a few seconds of parking time.
The Chamber of Labor has warned of the risks on Facebook that are connected to parking in certain locations. Experts strongly advise caution, since such complaints can quickly cost several hundred euros, with the final judgment at the judge's discretion.
Risky parking spaces in Salzburg
The following parking spaces are particularly at risk where drivers have to reckon with complaints:
- Ignaz-Harrer-Straße 72: gesamte Parkfläche rund um die Firma;
- Schumacherstraße 14: Parkfläche neben der Paketabholstation;
- Münchner Bundesstraße 114b: Teil der Parkflächen mit Parkverbot;
- Elisabethstraße 8a: Parkflächen vor dem dortigen Shop;
- Robinigstraße 3: abends Strafen auf weiß markierten Parkplätzen;
- Siebenstädterstraße 18: private Parkplätze neben der Apotheke;
- Airportcenter, Josef-Lindner-Straße in Wals-Himmelreich: Parkuhr erforderlich rund um Libro und Pagro.
However, a planned change in the law could bring relief. Penalties for parking in a short time are to be reduced from currently up to 400 euros to a maximum of 100 euros. The aim is to reduce the so-called "parking rip-off".
Customer parking spaces and their regulations
In connection with parking spaces, it is important to note that many supermarkets, shopping centers and specialist markets offer free parking. However, these are usually linked to purchasing, such as ORF Salzburg. Customers are often not allowed to park for more than 90 or 120 minutes, which is clearly indicated on signage.
Exceeding this maximum parking time can lead to contractual penalties, which are often more expensive than public parking offenses. These punishments can also be imposed outside of opening hours, provided that corresponding signs are available. It is therefore advisable to always pay attention to the signs and read the parking conditions carefully.
In the event of unexpected payment requests, drivers should clearly check whether the corresponding conditions have been sufficiently communicated on site. In many cases, a written objection to unjustified contractual penalties can be useful. There is also the possibility to ask for goodwill, for example by submitting shopping documents.
Conclusion: False parking in Salzburg can be expensive, and the regulations in dealing with parking spaces are often associated with pitfalls. Drivers should inform themselves well and pay attention to the signs to avoid nasty surprises.
