Traffic Ordinance Amendment (Payment of Parking Fees) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת התעבורה (תשלום דמי חניה)

TL;DRThe proposal allows drivers to pay parking fees according to the actual parking time, including fractions of hours, instead of paying for a full hour.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Traffic Ordinance to allow payment of parking fees on the basis of the actual length of time the vehicle was parked, measured in minutes, and not on the basis of predetermined whole hours. A similar proposal has been submitted several times in the Knesset. The current regulation requires payment for a full hour even if the driver parked for less than that, and the proposal seeks to change this.
