| Where should the parking card be placed? | The parking card must be placed behind the windshield inside the vehicle immediately after it is parked, in a way that allows its contents and validity to be read without any doubt.|
| Will a ticket be valid throughout the paid parking zone? | Yes. While valid, a ticket authorizes parking throughout the paid parking zone.|
| Will a parking meter malfunction release drivers from the obligation to pay? | No. If a parking meter is found to be malfunctioning, the vehicle user must purchase a ticket at the nearest functioning parking meter.|
| Why may an additional fee become payable? | If no proof of payment for parking in the paid parking zone is found, if the parking card has not been displayed as required, or if a vehicle is found parked after the time shown on the parking-meter printout or after the period paid for through a mobile payment system has expired, a paid parking zone inspector issues a notice informing the driver of the obligation to pay an additional fee. The notice is placed on the vehicle’s windshield, under the wiper. This may be documented with photographs.|
| How much is the additional fee for failing to pay for parking in the paid parking zone? | The additional fee for failing to pay for parking in the paid parking zone is PLN 75.|
| When and where is the additional fee paid? | A person who receives an additional fee must pay it within seven days. The date of payment is considered to be the date the funds reach the bank account of the Bolesławiec City Office indicated in the demand for payment of the additional fee.|
| Does losing the notice confirming parking without payment release a person from the obligation to pay the additional fee? | No. The loss, destruction or damage of a notice confirming parking without payment does not release a person from the obligation to pay the additional fee. An unpaid additional fee is enforced under the provisions governing administrative enforcement proceedings.|

| Does purchasing a ticket or subscription entitle a person to reserve a permanent parking space? | No. Purchasing a parking ticket or parking subscription authorizes parking in any publicly available parking space, but does not entitle a person to reserve a permanent parking space and does not constitute grounds for claims against the Bolesławiec City Office if no parking spaces are available.|
| Is it possible to obtain a duplicate subscription card? | Yes. A PLN 10 handling fee is charged for issuing a duplicate subscription card.|
| Is limited operating time possible for the paid parking zone? | Yes. The Mayor of the City is authorized to limit the operating hours of the paid parking zone throughout the area or part of it in connection with state ceremonies, events organized or patronized by the city of Bolesławiec, and road construction and repair works.|
| Why is the paid parking zone being introduced? | In the city center, the capacity of street infrastructure has been virtually exhausted, while further expansion of street cross-sections is either impossible or socially unacceptable. Alongside increased traffic volumes, the development of motorization has resulted in an overall increase in mobility, leading to traffic congestion. Introducing a paid parking zone is a way of mitigating 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 these areas, thereby giving preference to free public transport and implementing local anti-smog policy.
