Leuven (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): In Leuven Romanian vehicles face €25 fines for improper parking accumulating every half-day. If fines reach 15, totaling around €400 wheel locks may be applied to enforce compliance discouraging repeat offenses and ensuring parking rules are followed.
If people don’t park their car correctly in a paid parking area with a Romanian license plate they’ll get fined €25 for every half-day their car stays there wrongly. This fine is there to make sure people park right and follow the parking rules. It’s meant to stop cars from taking up paid parking spots without paying or permission so there’s order and space for everyone in those areas. If the parking attendants see that car still parked wrong when they check again later, they’ll get more fines for each half-day of not fixing it. So if they don’t sort out the parking problem fast the fines can pile up and cost them a lot of money. It’s important to either fix the parking issue quickly or make sure they’re parked correctly to avoid getting hit with big penalties.
What are the consequences of accumulating parking fines in Leuven?
If the vehicle in Leuven accumulates 15 fines adding up to roughly 400 euros the enforcement of parking rules is overseen by the parking company Arsoa not directly by the police. When car is caught breaking traffic regulations authorities take a stricter approach by placing a wheel lock on the vehicle. This action prevents the owner from driving away to avoid facing the consequences of their violations. Marc Vranckx from the police mentioned that this method helps ensure people stick to the parking rules and discourages repeated offenses.
When car was seen in Adolphe Bastinstraat the police kept a close eye on it. Using wheel locks is part of their plan to make sure parking rules are followed well and deal with people who keep breaking them. By watching and handling cars that don’t follow the rules often they want to make sure everyone parks right and cuts down on traffic violations in the city.
