1. Parking disc

A parking disc is a device used to indicate the time a vehicle was parked in an area where parking duration is limited. The driver sets the disc to the required arrival time and displays it clearly inside the vehicle.

Parking-disc systems are commonly used in blue zones or other time-limited parking areas. The permitted parking duration, operating hours and method for setting the disc depend on national or local rules and the traffic signs in place.

How do you set a parking disc in Austria?

Where a disc is the required proof, show your arrival time; you may round up to the next full quarter-hour. For example, 10:07 may be shown as 10:15.
