Germany
1. Parking zone
A parking zone is an area where a particular parking rule applies throughout a group of streets or a defined district rather than only at a single parking place. The applicable rule may regulate whether parking is allowed, how long vehicles may remain parked, which vehicles may park or whether payment or a parking permit is required.
The beginning and end of a parking zone are normally indicated by zone signs. Drivers should check the information shown at the entrance because the parking conditions may continue to apply throughout the zone without being repeated on every street.
What does sign 314.1 establish in Germany?
Zeichen 314.1 starts a Parkraumbewirtschaftungszone, or managed parking zone. Within it, otherwise lawful parking normally requires a valid ticket or parking disc. Separate bans on stopping or parking still apply.

Can residents be exempt from German managed-zone ticket or disc rules?
Yes, where indicated. Supplementary signs can exempt residents holding the relevant resident parking permit from the zone's ticket or disc requirement. Merely living nearby does not create an automatic exemption.
