Probably more often than not.\n\nHere are five handy ways to avoid your next parking fine so you can finally have that plate of chicken rice in peace.\n

1) Ensure that\u00a0your parking coupon is clearly\u00a0in view<\/h2>\nPeople love reusing their parking ticket by folding down the tabs and lifting up again, just to save a few cents. Even if you accidentally tear the wrong date or time, the wiser option is just to use a whole new coupon.\n\n\"\"\n

2) Make the parking attendant your new best friend<\/h2>\nYou should know\u00a0the parking lady's schedule at the back of your hand. After parking at the same spot for some time, you will naturally notice\u00a0the usual routine of the parking lady.\u00a0Plan your lunch during the intervals that your best friend won't be around -- although this has proven not to always be a fullproof method of avoiding fines.\n\n\"\"\n

3) Check prevailing rates before tearing your coupon<\/h2>\nNot all car parks charge $0.50 per half an hour. Check the signboards at the entrance of the car park before you enter. Be careful of CBD areas as they can be very tricky. If you\u2019re lucky, it\u2019s free parking after 5pm, or 50 cents per half hour after 5pm. If you\u2019re unlucky, you might have not noticed that it actually costs $1 per half hour.\n\n\"\"\n

4) Be sure not to break any rules when parking<\/h2>\nPeople tend to break these rules\u00a0at private estates where lots are very hard to find. Rushing for time? Singaporeans are famous for parking along the kerb without realising that beneath lies a\u00a0single white line. This is definitely a detail to note if you want to avoid parking ticket\n\nOther violations that may land you\u00a0a parking ticket include parking:\n\n\u2013 parallel to a single white line;\n\u2013 within 9 meters of a bus stop;\n\u2013\u00a0within 6 meters of a traffic junction;\n\u2013\u00a0within 3 meters of a fire hydrant, or\n\u2013 in the opposite direction of oncoming traffic\n\n\"\"\n

5) Choose your friends wisely<\/h2>\nWork in teams and alert each other when you see the parking attendant nearby!\n\n\"\"\n\nHaving trouble finding a parking spot? Why not try traffic buddy<\/a>? Find the nearest and cheapest location to park anytime, anywhere.\n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
