Parking disc
A parking disc must be used at places where it is signposted that parking is time limited and no ticket machine is placed. There must only be one parking disc and this must be clearly displayed in the windshield. The parking disc must have a pointer which must be set at the time of the start of the parking. Further information can be found in the parking disc regulations.
