Traffic Ordinance Amendment (Amendment – Payment of Parking Fees) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת התעבורה (תיקון - תשלום דמי חניה)

TL;DRThe bill seeks to allow drivers to pay for parking only according to the actual parking time, instead of paying for full hours.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill repeals a section in the Traffic Ordinance requiring payment for a full hour of parking even if a driver parked for a shorter time. Under the bill, the customer will be able to pay according to the actual parking time measured in minutes, including fractions of an hour. The bill addresses parking lots throughout Israel that charge payments for long, predetermined periods of time, without adjusting to the actual time of use of the parking services.
