Why are parking tickets so expensive in Phoenix, AZ?

It’s late, you’ve just gotten out of shopping, or work, or whatever else you’ve needed to accomplish, and there it is, sitting on your windshield. A parking ticket. Even worse, it seems crazy expensive. So, why are parking tickets so expensive in Phoenix, AZ? Let’s take a closer look.

Where does parking ticket money go?

If you find yourself paying a parking ticket, you’re probably wondering where the money even goes. Well, this can vary from city to city, but chances are the money is going back into the city, either for municipal or administrative purposes. Chances are, this is also the reason why the ticket is so expensive, although the larger the price, the larger the deterrent is to repeat parking in restricted spots as well.

Main ways you can get ticketed for parking

There are a few main ways you can get a parking citation, including parking in a red zone, parking with an expired meter, not properly displaying your ticket receipt, parking in a no-parking zone, parking in permit-only parking, and parking during street sweeping. So, there are plenty of reasons why you might receive a ticket. The easiest way to not get ticketed is to make sure the spot you’re parking in doesn’t have any restrictions before you park there. If you aren’t sure, then you may want to try and find a different spot.

What happens if I park in a no-park zone?

If you park in a no-park zone, you’ can get ticketed, or even towed. If your car ends up being towed, you’ll probably have more of a hassle finding and retrieving your vehicle than you would have trying to find a parking spot that isn’t restricted.  

Of course, we know finding a spot you know for sure isn’t going to get you ticketed can take time. So, why not drive around the city in comfort and style? Come on over to Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale to find a luxury vehicle you won’t mind spending more time in!
