titch Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Can anyone tell me what do the blue lines in a car park or on the street mean? I know they relate to permits and/or time limits but what are they please. Have searched forums/site etc but can't find any info. Any help gratefully received.

Battypuss Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 If there are blue lines, you need a parking disk. You set it to the time you arrive, then you get two hours...available in any tabac and most supermarkets. Prop it against the windscreen on the inside. Normally about 6" square, with revolving paper wheels. Hope this makes sense? Ask for a 'Disque de parking'; this is not perfect French, but it works...

Mistral Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 We've recently had blue lines put all over our town centre. As Battypus says, it means parking is limited to 2 hours during the day (although around here 12-14 isn't included) We got a nice disk from the mairie which has things organised so that you get "arrived 9.00-9.30; time limit 10.30" We're not sure who did the mayor's maths, probably the same people who paid a dustbin bill that is going to take 30 years to pay off. I have been told that you don't actually need a disk, if you write the time you arrived on a piece of paper and put that in the window, then it has to be accepted. But I haven't had the courage to try that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titch Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thanks everyone for your replies. But what about the evening? Does the disk not apply then and you can park on some blue lines for as long as you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 It should be written on the disk or the disk sign, but evenings don't generally count from 8pm to 8am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
