1. I had a parking card for disabled persons, but it slipped (fell) from the dashboard, and its information was not visible

The driver, after leaving the card, should ensure that all information is clearly visible from the outside. The manager of vehicles for disabled persons must leave the card inside the vehicle behind the front windshield or on the driver’s side of the dashboard in a clearly visible location from the outside, so that the number and expiration date of the card for parking vehicles for disabled persons can be easily read through the front windshield of the vehicle. If, during the inspection, the controller cannot read the card number and expiration date, a violation is recorded

 

2. I bought a ticket in the blue area, will this ticket be valid in the red zone?

A ticket purchased in the Old Town zone, or a payment made through a mobile network operator in the Old Town zone, is valid only in the Old Town zone.

A ticket purchased in the Yellow zone, or a payment made through a mobile network operator in the Yellow zone, is valid in the Yellow, Red, Blue, and Green zones.

A ticket purchased in the Red zone, or a payment made through a mobile network operator in the Red zone, is valid in the Red, Blue, and Green zones.

A ticket purchased in the Blue zone, or a payment made through a mobile network operator in the Blue zone, is valid in the Blue and Green zones.

A ticket purchased in the Green zone, or a payment made through a mobile network operator in the Green zone, is valid only in the Green zone.

A ticket purchased for the long-term parking zone is valid only in the parking lot specified on the ticket.

A ticket or payment through a mobile network operator is valid only until the time specified on the ticket or in the mobile network operator’s notification. The parking time cannot be recalculated when moving to another parking zone.

3. I was building a car at a clinic. Although there was no sign that parking is paid, I found a message stuck to the car when I returned.

According to the regulations, the territory located near the Kaunas clinic and the old town is assigned to a parking zone. The sign of the parking zone appears before entering the old town and clinic. It is valid until you reach the end of the marked zone.

The road sign no. 541 “Parking zone” with the additional table No. 840 “Paid Services” stands at all entrances to the designated areas. The entrance to the adjacent road areas, crossroads, does not eliminate the road sign No. 541 “Parking zone”.

The road mark no. 541 ends along the exit from the parking zone i.e. when passing road sign No. 544 “End of parking zone”, which stands at all exits from the parking zone.

4. I paid for parking but I got delayed and was late to get back to the car. When I returned I found a message glued to my car.

The vehicle owner must immediately leave the taxed area or pay for the next parking ticket. If you do not have the option to buy a ticket from a ticket machine, you can pay for car parking by SMS or APP without having to reach the car

5. The car is marked with the “Disabled” mark. Can I park in paid places for free when I have left the disability license on the car panel?

A disabled person’s license does not give you an incentive to park for free. Since 2011 September 1st, local tolls for using toll-free parking facilities are granted to individuals who have their cars marked with a european-style disability card. Disability car cards are issued by the disability and work related services in the ministry of social security and labor.

6. I stopped for only a few minutes and the controller recorded a violation.

In accordance with the local tolls approved by the Kaunas city municipality council it is necessary to pay the local toll for parking the car immediately. You can pay for car parking by coins and touchless payment card in a parking ticket machine, SMS or the smartphone app “Unipark”.

7. I was going to pay, but the ticket machine did not work.

If the toll is paid in the ticket machine, it must be done closest to the vehicle. If the machine is defective, the local fee must be paid in another way or in the adjacent ticket machine that belongs to the same payment zone. The failure of the vehicle parking ticket machine does not exempt the local toll from payment. If the machine does not issue a ticket, you can report it by calling 8 68780601.

8. How to pay for parking?

You can pay for parking by coins and by touchless payment card in a parking ticket machine, using the service provided by mobile operators to pay by SMS, or the smartphone app “Unipark”.
