I know, but that's a little slower, way more expensive, and fails if the battery runs out or the GPS can't connect, or the license plate is too dirty to read.

Obviously the chalk method isn't perfect either, but it's close.
- daveFNbuck 8y agoThere are also a lot of advantages once you automate this via a camera. Now you can put cheap cameras near spots and/or mount the cameras on cars to automate ticketing as police are driving around on other business.
- ricardobeat 8y agoThat is how parking enforcement works here in the Netherlands. Someone just drives a camera-equipped car around and everything happens automatically - you enter your license plate on the meter so times are known to the minute.
- perl4ever 8y agoThere are parking meters in the US city I live in, where you enter your license plate and you don't have to fill an individual meter or display a tag on your dash.
- djmobley 8y agoIf the license plate is too dirty to read, give them a ticket for that instead. Penalty should be greater than for the parking infraction anyway, otherwise people would dirty their plates deliberately.
