Pay and display

[Krayy]

...This is what i love about bikes to. Everyone in cages pay betwenn 10 and if ther really unlucky 20 bucks but bikes can seem to fit anywhere

Plus the fact that we can ride in bus lanes to get past the traffic, although throttle control is quite tricky when flipping the bird to a whole line of cars with your right finger.

And filtering...

Plus the chicks you get on a bike...whew...

Exempt from what? if you park in a park that requires pay and display ... you do just that ... or take the chance of gtetting a ticket? Is that not spelt out somewhere around the parking area?

I asked Wilson what their policy was, and as long as you are not in a car space or causing an impediment they will leave you alone. As policies go, it is unofficial, so you do take a chance.
Aotea Sq and other areas have free parking dedicated inside for bikes.
There are several free bike bays around the city.
You can park anywhere on private land where the land owner won't get you removed - ie. outside most large buildings the land next to them is often not owned by the council (pavement) so you can park on it.


All this and more can be found in various threads about parking in Auckland CBD. Use search.

You can park in th e Auckland City public carparks, like under Aotea Centre, for free, nice n dry and safe(ish) theres a bike park area usually close to th echeckout kiosk

Dunno about Auckland, but in Wellington motorcyclists aren't permitted to use Pay and Display parks. Totally forbidden. Give the council a call, 379 2020, only takes a minute to talk to someone.

So are we supposed to only park in MC Only places? I've parked my car many times in Wgtn but not a bike - but will have to do so soon. Whats the guff?

Probably the reason Wilson Parking tow cars away quickly is because they can't enforce any of their parking tickets!
Basically their tickets are invoices which cannot be taken through the court system as you haven't broken any law.
Just to make sure Wilson gets the message attach a notice to your vehicle along the lines of "anyone who interfers with this vehicle by clamping, towing etc agrees to pay the registered owner the sum of $300 plus any additional costs (etc etc)". Towing or clamping a car and demanding money for its return is blackmail and extortion.

That wont work - look at their signs - by parking here you accept the rules (posted someplace in the carpark).

By entering you accept their rules - your sign on the car / bike wont help at all.

when i stayed over night in central welly, i had to use a pay and display lot. i simply clamped the ticket underneath my petrol cap, but that wont work for some bikes where the cap and tank are flush. the rego holder is a good idea, but where would you put it if you dont have a screen? and where parking wardens would be able to spot it easily?
