What do blue lines mean for parking?
Blue lines in parking areas generally indicate paid parking zones. To park in these spaces, it is necessary to purchase a ticket from a parking meter or through a payment app. In both cases, the ticket or a card indicating payment via app must be displayed in a clearly visible position on the dashboard.
Payment may also be made by sending a text message to the short number 1302, giving the car's licence plate number. The system records this payment and notifies the motorist of the time of expiry. The blue zone working hours are 8.30am to 8.00pm daily except Sundays and public holidays.
