Understanding the Concept:
- Park Remark is a user-driven app that provides real-time data on parking enforcement and ticketing activity in your area. This data helps you make informed decisions about where to park to avoid fees.
-
Viewing Recent Pins:
- When you open the app, you’ll see pins on the map. These pins represent recent parking enforcement sightings and ticket incidents reported by other users.
- Enforcement Pins: These indicate areas where parking enforcement officers have been spotted recently. A high density of such pins suggests active enforcement in the area.
- Ticket Pins: These show locations where other drivers have recently received parking tickets. Frequent tickets in an area may indicate it’s a high-risk zone for parking fines.
- Pay it forward: These show locations where other drivers have recently departed from a paid parking spot, and left time remaining on the meter. We like these people.
- Parking Pins: These show where you recently parked. They are private, so only you can see them. You must be registered to use this feature
-
Contributing to the Community:
- Reporting Enforcement and Tickets: If you spot a parking enforcement officer, receive a ticket, or want to pay it forward you can report this on the app. Your contribution helps others make better parking choices.
- Adding Details: When reporting, you can provide additional details, such as the time of sighting or any specific notes about the enforcement activity.
-
Making Educated Parking Decisions:
- Analyzing Pin Data: Use the information from the pins to assess the risk of parking in a particular area. Areas with recent enforcement activity or multiple tickets might be riskier.
- Planning Your Parking: Choose to park in areas with fewer or no recent enforcement or ticket pins to reduce the likelihood of incurring parking fees.
-
Staying Informed:
- Keep the app open while driving to receive live updates on enforcement activity.
- Regularly check the app before parking in unfamiliar areas.
By actively participating in the Park Remark community, you not only benefit from the shared information but also contribute to a collective effort to help drivers avoid unnecessary parking fees. Remember, each pin you add makes the whole system more effective for everyone.
