does not pay for the stand in principle

Habits are changing

The fee on the seashore began to be collected from May 1st. The beaches are equipped with parking, which, as usual, operate throughout the summer season, and the Dutch hat will have to pay all year round.

Gintaras Neniškis, Director of Klaipeda Passenger Transportation, said that some people are not yet paying a rack fee, but the controller of the car windows on a fine of the car wipers on a fine that needs to be paid within three days is changing drivers’ habits.

« There are all kinds of people. We once performed an analysis of the number of people who pay the so -called forgetfulness fee and what part of the protocols are written. After looking at several years of analysis, those who pay for oblivion fee are 76 percent and 24 percent give it to the Public Order Department, » said G. Neniškis.

Term – three days

If the person does not pay the fee within the specified time – three days, the material is sent to the Public Order Department, which already writes the minutes.

« The number of offenders is similar – ranging from about 70,000, it is a few percent growing, but I would say it remains stable. The difference is that last year there were far fewer road traffic offenses in the Old Town.

The most popular violations: The car is left to stand behind the road sign that prohibits it from doing so, as well as the parking at the yellow line or on the sidewalk.

“In principle does not pay”

The offenders are believed to have declined for one possible reason.

People pay much better at the seashore than parking.

“This is probably due to the fact that last year the old town streets have ended, more seats have emerged, so the number of offenders who do not fit and park the cars in the Old Town have been reduced. 2023 were 11 thousand. such violations, and last year – 9 thousand, the number is reduced. Number of disagreements in 2023 was 68 thousand, and in 2024. – 73 thousand. Thus, the number of unpaid ones grew, but the rules that violated the rules, ”said G. Neniškis.

It is noticeable that those who come to the seaside respect the traffic rules and pay the toll benevolence.

« But anyway, the number of offenders is similar, and of course, people pay much better at the seashore for parking. And when they come to the center, they think that they should be free and do not pay in principle, » said G. Neniškis.
