Poll: "Ticketless' meters just the ticket"

Reporter Marlborough Express

Blenheim's old parking meters are about to be kicked to the kerb.

What would you like to see in their place?

Parking options

Pay-and-display: Customers pay for the time they require and a ticket is printed, to be placed on the dashboard of the car.

Pay-by-plate: Put money or card into machine and enter number plate. The 'ticketless' system records your number plate and the time you arrived. Traffic wardens can regulate remotely. Mobile phone apps available to top up.

Pay-by-space: Solar or battery-powered sensors in the ground that detect the time of entry and exit from the park. The customer enters the space number at the meter. Read our full story here: www.stuff.co.nz...
