Safety is the priority for the parking operations team at Access Canberra.
17 July 2023
Whether you’re parking for work, popping down to your local shops or picking the kids up from school, make sure you park safely and legally.
Illegal and dangerous parking is not only a safety risk, but it makes it harder for others to park.
You can be fined between $132 and $660 for illegal and dangerous parking. It's much cheaper to park legally than risk a fine.
Parking across pedestrian crossings, on footpaths and verges, at road corners and over multiple parking spots is dangerous and inconsiderate of other road users and pedestrians.
By parking in no-parking zones, you might block another car’s exit or reduce another driver’s line of sight. This can be especially dangerous in high pedestrian areas, like shopping centres, school and sportsground carparks and town centres.
Next time you’re hustling for the perfect park, remember it’s better to park safely – even if it’s a little further away – than illegally.
While at the time it might feel a little inconvenient, every time you do the wrong thing, you risk copping a fine.
