At 10.40, you enter an area where parking is allowed for 2 hours when using a parking disc. What time must you set on the parking disc?

When you park your vehicle in an area where parking is allowed for a limited time, such as 2 hours, you must set your parking disc to indicate the starting time of your parking duration. According to German traffic regulations, you should set the disc to the nearest full hour after you park.

In this case, since you entered the area at 10:40, you need to round up to the next full hour, which is 11:00. This indicates that your parking time begins at 11:00, and you are allowed to park until 13:00 (which is 2 hours later).

Choosing the correct time on the parking disc is essential to comply with traffic laws and avoid fines. Parking enforcement checks the disc for the start time and will determine whether your parking duration is in accordance with local regulations.
