From an illegal bicycle parking zone |
|
|
In order to ensure safe and comfortable living conditions for
residents, areas surrounding railway stations in the city up to
a radius of approximately 300 meters were declared illegal bicycle
parking zones in accordance with municipal ordinances to encourage
proper use of municipal bicycle parking lots.
Bicycles parked on roads and in public plazas in front of stations
where parking is illegal will be promptly confiscated notwithstanding
the shortness of time between the act of parking the bicycle and
the decision taken to confiscate.
In the event that your bicycle is fixed to a safety bar with a chain
lock or similar device, your bicycle may be removed after such chain
lock or similar device is severed or otherwise subject to necessary
action to facilitate the removal of the bicycle.
What is illegal parking?
The relevant ordinance defines illegal parking as: "That which
results from leaving your bicycle on the road in such circumstances
as to increase distance between you and your bicycle and preclude
the immediate relocation thereof."
The test for determining whether your bicycle is parked illegally
does not revolve around the duration or purpose of parking, but
depends rather on the possibility of relocating your bicycle. Notwithstanding
the shortness of the duration involved, if your bicycle cannot be
relocated immediately, it will be deemed to be an illegally parked
bicycle. |
