Title: All on road parking is now free of charge...
Post by: nichola on May 02, 2016, 16:23:18 PM
Muğla Municipality’s announced last week that all on-street car parking in Fethiye will be free under a new law that it has passed.

The law number 5216 on Road Traffic Act 2918 forbids the charging for all on-street parking spaces from April 29, 2016

The Municipality requests that motorists who are for asked payment should notify the law enforcement agencies.

However I believe that the attendants are still there collecting payment. Maybe no one has told them.

Is this left hand not knowing what the right hand of government is doing.  Or is this to cut out the entrepreneurial spirit of some Turks who will cheekily charge someone for parking near to, say, some tourist attraction or such like.  Rather than the official town parking in Fethiye, which does employ a number of people, generally keeps traffic moving through town, by stopping treble parking and also assist you when reversing out?

I too was charged today, & the Fethiye Park "turquoise" men were all down the back road. I well remember the utter chaos when there was a 2 week gap between the previously employed "orange" men being finished & Fethiye Park starting their contract

Perhaps more of a blow to Fethiye Spor football club who I believe are the recipients of the money raised from car parking charges in Ölüdeniz and Fethiye!

I love the logic . Free to park on the road or pay in a car park?
