Motorists will be happy to know that they will be given a 10 minute “grace period” after their parking ticket runs out before they can be fined.
Under the new code, the grace period will apply at the end of paid-for parking tickets or after the expiry of free parking tickets.
Operators are also banned for giving incentives to parking attendants for the number of tickets they issue. The BPA said its code of practice was being taken apart after a scam where motorists were being cheated out of money by parking attendants.
