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.

Where should a Hungarian parking disc be displayed?

Behind the windscreen, showing when parking began, where the signed time-limited scheme requires it.

Can you reset a Hungarian parking disc without driving away?

No. Changing the displayed time while the vehicle remains is prohibited.
