Questions and answers

Yes. The Mayor of the City is authorized to limit the operating hours of the paid parking zone throughout the entire area or part of it in connection with state ceremonies, events organized or patronized by the city of Bolesławiec, and road construction or renovation works.In the city center, the capacity of street infrastructure has practically been exhausted, while further expansion of street cross-sections is either impossible or socially unacceptable. Alongside increased traffic volume, the development of motorization has led to an overall increase in mobility, resulting in traffic congestion. Introducing a paid parking zone is a way to alleviate these problems. Paid parking zones are established in areas characterized by a significant shortage of parking spaces and justified by traffic-management needs, in order to increase vehicle turnover, particularly to limit vehicle access to the area, thereby giving preference to free public transport and implementing local anti-smog policy.

Proof of payment, in the form of a valid ticket purchased at a parking meter, a valid resident parking identification card, a valid permit, or information confirming payment through a dedicated mobile application, must be placed immediately after occupying the parking space in a visible location behind the vehicle’s windshield, in a manner that leaves no doubt as to its validity, so that payment for parking and its duration are fully legible to paid parking zone inspectors.

An unpaid additional fee is subject to enforcement under the provisions governing administrative enforcement proceedings.
Who may inspect whether parking has been paid for? Only persons authorized by the Mayor of Bolesławiec who hold an identification card may inspect whether parking has been paid for.
Does purchasing a ticket or permit entitle a person to reserve a permanent parking space?
