Parking - Removals Vans

Hi,


We sadly weren't aware of the requirement of a parking permit for our removals van.


We're instead going to park 2 hire cars outside our flat in 2 parking spaces in order to reserve space for the van.


We're in the yellow zone and seem to able to pay for 4 hour slots. Does anyone know if this can be done back to back? And if we were to park these cars overnight (in order to make sure we have those 2 spaces for the van) which i believe is not allowed, what would the fine be?


Any help greatly appreciated!


Thanks so much

Samantha

Hi Samantha,


Are you a Lisbon resident? If so, you can apply to occupy the public space on EMEL's website.

The maximum limit for parking is 4 hours at a time. But you can pay every 4 hours....  and park there all day..
