26F Parking in ticket parking areas
(1) A driver must not park in a ticket parking area unless a current parking ticket is displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle in a manner that the ticket’s date and expiry time are clearly visible to persons outside the driver’s vehicle.
(2) A ticket parking area is a parking area designated by one or more parking control signs where information on the sign or signs includes the word ‘TICKET’, but does not include any part of the parking area in which the parking of vehicles is prohibited by another provision of these Regulations.
(3) A driver does not contravene subregulation (1) if the driver parks in a ticket parking area before obtaining a parking ticket, so long as the driver obtains and displays a current parking ticket in accordance with this regulation immediately after parking the driver’s vehicle.
(4) A driver must not allow the driver’s vehicle to remain parked in a ticket parking area after the expiry of the parking ticket displayed in or on the vehicle.
(5) A driver must not allow the driver’s vehicle to remain parked in a ticket parking area for more than the period of time indicated on the parking control sign or signs that designate the area as the maximum time for which a vehicle may be parked in the area.
Note For how a period of time is indicated, see subregulations 22B (2) and (3).
(6) A driver who parks in a ticket parking area does not contravene this regulation if:
(a) the driver parks for a period not exceeding the period (if any) for which no fee is payable for parking in the area; or
(b) the driver parks outside the controlled parking hours for the area; or
(c) regulation 26E applies to the driver.
(7) Nothing in this regulation prevents a driver from parking in different parts of the same ticket parking area while displaying the same parking ticket (if the ticket has not expired).
(8) This regulation does not apply to the rider of a motor cycle.
(9) An offence against subregulation (1), (4) or (5) is an offence of strict liability.
