    Resident only parking

    Hey all, did a quick search and couldn't see anything on this, but does anyone know if you get ticketed for parking your bike in a resident only area? (If your not a resident.)
    - In Wellington, if that makes a difference.

    Cheers

    Either that or towed. Of course!

    Public road? Yes.
    Restriction: Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 (SR 2004/427) Section 6.4
    Penalty: Land Transport (Offences and Penalties) Regulations 1999 (SR 1999/99) - Parking Contrary to Sign - All Other Parking Offences - $60 (or less if lowered by the enforcement authority - Tui?)

    There's no provision to permit them to tow your vehicle. Correction: An enforcement officer may authorise removal of the vehicle "...for the convenience or in the interests of the public" but I very much doubt any towie is an enforcement officer.

    Enforcement officer means—
    (a) A sworn member of the Police:
    (b) A non-sworn member of the Police who is authorised for the purpose by the Commissioner:
    (c) A person who is appointed to that office by warrant under section 208 or who holds that office by virtue of this Act:
    I can't see them removing a bike either since there's actually nowhere to safely display the permit...
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    My window looks down on a resident only car park, the tow company with the contract makes a mint, he's there every day waiting for victims, and he has the gear to take bikes too.
