Dublin City Parking DSPS grace period

kopp

Hello All,
I've often had people telling me when parking time runs out on DSPS street parking that you have a certain amount of grace time to renew your parking. I've been told its 15 minutes, but I haven't been able to find it stated anywhere. Does anyone know if this is true? or is it fair game for clamping when the time has run out?

Cheers

Did you contact them to find out what their position is?

Dont go by the "grace period" as some clampers would clamp you once they see the time run out and some would come back later and check so dont take the chance.

It's a grace period, not a right.

There is a sliding scale - nuisance parking (bus lane / stop, wheelchair space, taxi rank, loading bay) will get immediate enforcement, whereas simple non-payment might get 5-10 minutes. Note however that one team might go along a street, check for tickets that have expired / are about to expire and another team might come along after that. So the first thing that you might notice is enforcement.

That's exactly what I thought Hill Billy and Victor. Thank you for your opinions. Much appreciated
