Very interesting. I have found all the information I was looking for clearly. Thank you very much.
Decor that carry the exact price because the machines do not return the change in Madrid (a good pinch is collected that way).
Be careful because since May 2017 Mrs. Carmena changed the maximum time and now they are all 2 hours maximum (blue, green and orange), to park again you will have to change the neighborhood. And as for the special pricing for shows, it's suspended, that is, it doesn't work either. The fines range from €30 if you have the ticket and you are out of time and up to €190 if you do not have tickets. For early payment as always 50% discount.
A greeting.
mediocre if not bad information
Good morning, Celardo. Could you tell us what information you are missing? Our editorial team will be happy to improve the information in the article.
A question.
When I serve a kitchen and I have to stay to install it all day.
How can I do it without being fined, because I can't be leaving the area every two hours.
Because they apply the same plan to the delivery vans as the others if we are working for the community and they don't lack anything, there should be flexibility for these, I have one and from 14:16 p.m. to 30:XNUMX p.m. they don't let me park in loading zones if I don't pay the parking meter and this affects my salary
Vehicles with reduced mobility accreditation have a time limit in the ser?
