Pysäköintikilvillä

Pysäköintikilvillä refers to parking discs or parking meters in Finnish. A parking disc is a small, usually cardboard or plastic device that is placed on the dashboard of a parked vehicle to indicate the time of arrival. It is commonly used in areas with time-limited parking. The driver sets the disc to the time they parked, and enforcement officers can check if the vehicle has exceeded the permitted parking duration. Parking discs are a common sight in many European countries, including Finland, and are a simple yet effective tool for managing parking in busy urban areas.

Parking meters, on the other hand, are electronic or mechanical devices that collect money in exchange for the right to park a vehicle for a limited amount of time. Drivers typically pay for parking at a meter located near the parking spot or through a mobile application. The duration of parking is usually displayed on the meter or managed through the app. Both parking discs and parking meters serve the primary purpose of regulating parking and ensuring fair access to parking spaces for a wider range of users. The specific rules and regulations regarding their use, including the duration of parking and any associated fees, vary by municipality and parking zone.
