Good afternoon, dear reader.
In the previous article in the series “Lawn or not lawn: that is the question” we talked about what a lawn is from a legal point of view.
Today we will continue to study this issue and figure out what fines are provided for parking on the lawn :
- Types of fines.
- Parking on the lawn in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
- Fine for parking on the lawn in Moscow.
- Fine for parking on the lawn in Ryazan.
Normative base
Parking on the lawn is considered an administrative offense. The amount of the monetary penalty is established in accordance with the norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In particular, the fine is established in Article 12.19.
Attention! If you have any questions, you can chat for free with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call Moscow; Saint Petersburg; Free call for all of Russia.
Regional authorities have the right to adopt their own regulations if they do not contradict the norms of federal laws. The authorities of Moscow and St. Petersburg pay special attention to parking on the lawn. Fines in these cities are higher than in other settlements of the Russian Federation. The amount of penalties is regulated by:
- Law of the city of Moscow on the protection of green spaces of May 5, 1999. The regulation prohibits vehicles from entering or stopping on green areas.
- Article 4.18 of the Moscow City Code on Administrative Offences. Fixes the amount of monetary fines for damage to green spaces.
- Article 8.25 of the Moscow City Code on Administrative Offences. Determines the amount of penalties if a stop is made on the lawn of an area occupied by green spaces.
- Law of St. Petersburg No. 273.70 of May 31, 2010. Determines the amount of penalties for parking in green spaces.
Opportunity to challenge
In some regions of the Russian Federation, the fine is quite large, so drivers are wondering whether it is possible to challenge prosecution and how to do this. The need to transfer a large amount can be avoided if the following conditions are met:
- if the territory for which they tried to fine the driver for parking cannot be classified as a lawn in accordance with the site plan approved by government agencies;
- when the area where the motorist left his car does not have any characteristic green spaces;
- if the owner of the car only stopped in a certain area and did not park;
- subject to an emergency and urgent need for parking. This circumstance can be considered as mitigating guilt, provided that there were no areas nearby where the car could be parked.
Important. One of the most important points when challenging a fine is the fact that the car was not parked. In this case, you should refer to the current version of the traffic rules. According to its points, parking means stopping a car for a period of 5 minutes or more, which is not associated with the loading and unloading of things or objects or the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers.
To protest a penalty, you will need to contact the official whose subordinate drew up the penalty or a judicial authority. When drawing up an appeal, you will need to reflect the following points:
- Full name and details of the plaintiff.
- The facts of what happened and the essence of the compiled protocol on the administrative offense.
- Details of the person who compiled the protocol.
- Details of the drawn up document on bringing to responsibility.
- Grounds for canceling a fine (with obligatory reference to legislative and regulatory acts).
- Date and signature.
When is the fine for parking on the lawn in 2021?
In 2021, a fine will be imposed if the driver leaves the vehicle on the lawn. The term is not specified in any federal legislative act. The only mention is in the traffic rules. The term is indicated together with the concept of Sidewalk. However, there is also no interpretation. When imposing a fine for parking on a lawn, representatives of the state traffic inspectorate rely on their own ideas about the word or a definition from a dictionary. Typically, the concept of lawn is understood as a well-groomed piece of land on which there is short-trimmed grass, ornamental or perennial plants. If a person stops at such a place, he will be held accountable.
It is recommended to rely on the legislation of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Thus, a clear definition of a lawn is given in the note to Article 32 of the Law of St. Petersburg No. 273-70. The concept refers to the surface of the Earth that does not have a hard covering with side stones or other material, and is also covered with vegetation of natural or artificial origin. The lawn is used for landscaping the area.
Local regulations do not always prohibit damage to land. In this situation, the penalty is issued simply for illegal parking.
Is it possible to challenge a fine?
A fine for driving on the lawn can be contested. It is possible to avoid liability for such parking in the following cases:
- discrepancies between the actual location of the lawn and the site plan approved by government agencies;
- the absence of any plantings in the area where the driver parked;
- if the road user stopped and did not park on the lawn, and he is charged with “parking”;
- if parking was necessary in an emergency, and the local area does not provide parking zones.
To get the fine cancelled, you need to pay attention to all the details of the parking lot and take into account how the car was parked in the lot, whether the area was covered with grass, how long the car was left, and so on. If possible, details should be captured in photos or videos and telephone numbers of witnesses should be collected.
Penalties for parking and parking on the lawn in 2021
For violations committed, the person will be held administratively liable. The amount of the penalty is determined by Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and regional regulations. The amount may vary depending on the region. In St. Petersburg and Moscow, the amount of the penalty is much larger than in other localities.
Regional legislation may contain its own enforcement measures if they do not contradict the provisions of federal regulations. Thus, in accordance with Article 8.25 of the administrative code of the city of Moscow, violators may be required to restore green spaces that were damaged as a result of the actions of the car owner. The measure is applied in addition to the fine.
Fines for parking on grass in 2021
The application of fines is drawn up in accordance with the norms of Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and regional legislative acts. The fine for parking on a lawn in 2021 varies from 500 to 5,000 rubles (the amount depends on the location of the offense). The concept of Lawn does not appear in the legal act. However, monetary penalties for violating parking or stopping rules are reflected here. The rules apply to persons who leave a vehicle on the lawn.
For residents of regions of the Russian Federation, a penalty of 500 rubles is provided in accordance with Article 12.19, paragraph 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The authorized body may limit itself to a warning. More severe penalties are applied to residents of federal cities (Moscow; St. Petersburg). Penalties reach up to 5,000 rubles (Article 8.25 of the Moscow Administrative Code).
If a resident of the capital damages green spaces, Article 4.18 of the Moscow City Code on Administrative Offenses comes into force. The amount of the penalty for citizens increases to 4,000-4,500 rubles. If the violation was committed by an official, you will have to pay 50,000 rubles. A fine of up to RUB 300,000 may be applied to legal entities.
If a car is placed in Moscow on a lawn, near a children's playground, in accordance with Article 8.8 Part 3 of the Moscow Code, the fine will be:
- for citizens – 5000 rubles;
- for officials – 30,000 rubles;
- for legal entities – 300,000 rubles.
If the car is placed on a lawn or other territory in the city of Moscow occupied by green spaces, the punishment is established by Article 8.25 of the administrative code of the city of Moscow. The amount of penalties is as follows:
- for citizens – 3000-5000 rubles;
- for officials – 15,000-20,000 rubles;
- for legal entities – 100,000-200,000 rubles.
If the violation is committed in St. Petersburg, the fine is imposed in accordance with Law No. 273 -70, Article 32. The punishment will be as follows:
- for citizens – 3000-5000 rubles;
- for officials – 5,000-40,000 rubles;
- for legal entities – 150,000-500,000 rubles.
Who is held accountable?
Bringing to responsibility can be expressed in recording an offense as follows:
- traffic police inspectors issuing orders in accordance with federal and regional laws;
- through the response of road users and residents. Photo and video materials of violations are prepared accordingly and sent to the official website of the traffic police via the Internet;
- on the territory of the capital of the Russian Federation, the Moscow Road Inspectorate (MADI) also has the right to issue a fine.
Important information. If you wish, you can report a violation by personally contacting the traffic police department or by sending a registered letter.
Who is allowed to park on the lawn in 2021?
The legislation does not contain a clear list of situations in which parking on the lawn is permissible in 2021. You can defend your rights and avoid monetary penalties in the following situations:
- The site does not fall under the definition of a lawn and is not recognized by it from a legal point of view. A traffic police representative cannot impose a fine on a citizen for parking on a lawn. However, residents of the house have the right to initiate legal proceedings and recognize the local area as a lawn.
- There is a permit provided by the traffic police. The document is issued extremely rarely. However, his presence frees the citizen from monetary penalties. Based on the paper, it will be possible to challenge the fine if it was issued.
- There is no harm to green spaces. By 2021, a modern eco-lawn has already been developed. It is resistant to damage caused by car wheels. However, such sites are still present only in large populated areas.
- Parking sign installed. It lifts the ban on leaving a car on the lawn.
- The shutdown was carried out in winter. Under a layer of snow, it is difficult to understand whether there is a lawn or whether there is open ground under the wheels of a car. However, the legislation does not provide direct permission to enter the lawn during the cold season. The only exceptions are the regulations of several cities of the Russian Federation.
In all other cases, parking on the lawn is considered illegal. An employee of the State Traffic Inspectorate has the right to draw up a protocol, hold the driver accountable and issue a fine for parking on the lawn.
A person may be called to a commission. The local administration is looking into the situation. If a citizen argues for an action, instead of a fine for parking on the lawn, a reprimand may be applied. If a person does not appear at the meeting, challenging the commission’s decision will be problematic.
The essence of the violation
Why is a large number of legal proceedings often initiated regarding the traffic police fine for parking on the lawn, and is it actually possible to challenge the penalty imposed on the driver?
For reference. The traffic rules do not contain a definition of the word “lawn”; therefore, in the process of bringing a motorist to justice, the punishment itself can be challenged by the guilty person.
Turning to the regulatory documentation, it is impossible to find a clear definition that can be used when determining whether a site belongs to a lawn. In this case, the common expression “trimmed perennial or ornamental grass” cannot be taken into account, since it is contained only in the encyclopedia, which has no legal force.
Separate regulations adopted in different regions of the Russian Federation define the following areas as a lawn:
- areas that separate the sidewalk from the roads;
- that area that is located separately from the sidewalk and is overgrown with grass;
- artificially and naturally created green spaces;
- verges overgrown with grass.
Camera fine for parking on the lawn
In a classic situation, a violation of the rules is recorded by a traffic police inspector. He hands the driver a fine. This is a standard sheet on which the number is indicated and there is a link to the legal act that was violated. Additionally, information about the car, the amount of the monetary penalty and the date of the incident are recorded.
In the capital, control over compliance with parking rules is carried out by inspectors from MADI and the State Institution of the Autonomous Republic of Belarus. Pedestrians in nearby yards report illegal parking.
If the inspector is not nearby, the violation may be recorded by surveillance cameras. They are installed in crowded places. The video is being processed by representatives of the State Traffic Inspectorate. Within 3 days, the person will be sent a letter with a fine for parking on the lawn. Additionally, photo evidence of guilt is attached. The photo must clearly show the license plates of the vehicle and the fact of hitting the lawn.
If a person does not agree with the imposed punishment, an appeal is permissible. If the violation is recorded by cameras, you need to contact the institution that imposed the punishment.
Who records damage to lawns and green spaces and how?
You can be caught violating parking rules in Moscow:
- mobile systems for recording violations of parking rules;
- foot inspectors of the Moscow Administrative Road Inspectorate (MADI);
- any citizen through a special application on a smartphone.
Mobile complexes for recording violations of parking rules are cameras in the cars of the Traffic Management Center, which ply along their own routes. They photograph license plates of cars that violate any stopping and parking rules.
MADI foot inspectors record violations of parking rules using tablets - portable photo and video recording systems. They take two photographs: a general shot showing the entire car and the violation, and a close-up of the license plate. Photos are automatically sent to a single dispatch center indicating the time and location of shooting. If the area where the car is parked in the photo is included in the Moscow City Register of Green Spaces, then the owner of the car will receive a fine for parking in the “green” zone.
An online map with prohibited parking zones is also available in the Moscow Assistant application. Using it, car owners can check whether it is safe to park in a particular area. To do this, you need to enable the “Fixation zones near me” mode in the application. If the car is outside the prohibited area, it will not be possible to photograph it.
Any Moscow resident can take photos and videos of parking violations on their smartphone and send them directly to the mayor’s office. For example, through the Moscow Assistant mobile application. After reviewing the materials at the mayor's office, the car owner may receive a fine from MADI. Muscovites eagerly take advantage of this opportunity, because for activity in the application you can get points, and then exchange them for free travel, theater tickets and other gifts.

Fine for parking on the lawn in the yard
Parking a vehicle on a lawn causes damage to the grass surface. As a result, the appearance of the landscape deteriorates. Grass stuck to car wheels pollutes asphalt areas. Sometimes lumps of dirt are carried along with it, which fall off in layers onto the asphalt. They are compacted by passing cars.
Parking on lawns in courtyards is prohibited in 2021. Standard penalties are applied to the violator. The citizen will be fined. Its size varies from 500 to 5000 rubles. depending on the region. Sometimes the person is additionally required to restore the damaged lawn.
Representatives of authorized bodies monitor compliance with the rules in the yards. There may be no cameras here. Inspectors visit the local area less frequently than central streets. However, the residents themselves can take action against the offender. If such a stop causes outrage and dissatisfaction, you can file a complaint. In 2021, the following may be considered:
- district engineering service;
- management companies;
- a special commission monitoring changes in penalties for illegal parking;
- representatives of district police departments.
Institutions may vary by region. First of all, it is recommended to contact the car owner and ask if there is a solution for stopping on the lawn. If a person refuses to perform an action, filing a complaint is permissible.
Fines for parking on the lawn in winter
In winter, it is more difficult to figure out where the lawn ends. In most regions of the Russian Federation there is no grass. However, this does not always give the right to stop on the lawn. It all depends on the current legislation. If the regional administrative code provides for monetary penalties, the rule will apply in winter, regardless of whether the area is covered with snow or not. The size of the fine remains exactly the same as in the summer period from 500 to 5000 rubles depending on the region. However, if local regulations reflect a list of exceptions that imply the possibility of stopping on the lawn in winter, they will not be able to impose penalties for illegal parking.
What to do if you receive an invoice for payment?
First of all, you need to file a complaint with the agency that detected the traffic violation and decided to impose a fine. If interaction with these government agencies does not bear fruit, then you can go to court.
Drawing up an appeal
The appeal is drawn up according to the sample . You can easily find it on the Internet or take it from the court office. It must contain information about the plaintiff, that is, about you, and about the defendant, who are government agencies.
In your appeal, you must set out what rights were violated, what arguments you have that allow you to challenge such actions, as well as your options for resolving the problems. It is necessary to justify your position based on legal norms.
After stating your position, you must put the date, place of compilation, and signature with a transcript. Be sure to make a list of attached documents .
Time frame for consideration of the case
After submitting an application to the office, it will be considered within one calendar month. During this time, the court decides whether to accept the case for execution or not. If the case was accepted, you will be summoned to the court and a trial date will be set. And also everything depends only on the parties.
If the parties systematically do not appear at court trials, ask to postpone the process until certain circumstances are clarified, or otherwise delay the process in every possible way, this means that the trial will continue indefinitely, be prepared for this in advance.
Fine for parking on a lawn in Moscow
Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation establishes only the general amount of penalties that can be imposed on a violator for illegal parking. However, there are no provisions regarding stopping on the lawn. Moscow has adopted its own city code of administrative offenses. Here, Article 8.25 reflects penalties for citizens, officials and legal entities:
- Regular drivers are required to pay 5,000 rubles.
- For officials, the amount of the penalty is 30,000 rubles.
- If the violation was committed by an organization, it will be charged 300,000 rubles.
Fine for parking on a lawn in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg has also adopted its own legal act. This is law number 273-70 of May 31, 2010. Penalties for parking and parking on the lawn are fixed here. The amount of the fine is reflected in Article 32. Ordinary citizens who commit a violation must pay 3,000-5,000 rubles. For officials, the figure increases and amounts to 5,000-40,000 rubles. If the violation was committed by a legal organization, the amount of the penalty reaches 150,000-500,000 rubles.
Exceptions apply. If damage to green spaces was caused by a vehicle involved in maintenance work, planting or repairs, no penalty will be imposed.
Terminology
In many ways, the main problem with illegal parking on the lawn is the lack of awareness among citizens . They don't know what this concept means. But at the same time, stopping a car in an area that is equivalent to a lawn area is a serious offense.
By the way, in some regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities, a lawn is designated as a grassy plot of land. Some acts describe lawns as landscaped green spaces.
We understand a lawn as a landscaped, well-kept piece of land with green spaces, designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of urban space. The lawn may or may not be fenced with any devices. As a rule, the lawn is located on a pedestrian area or on the border of the sidewalk and road.
Towing a car for parking on the lawn
The process of evacuation of a vehicle is regulated by Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. It says that the car can be seized for non-compliance with the requirements prescribed by road signs prohibiting stopping or parking of vehicles. When it comes to parking on lawns, the car does not interfere with the movement of other vehicles. The corresponding signs are also usually missing. Therefore, forced evacuation of a car for parking on the lawn is unacceptable. This kind of action is considered illegal.
When faced with something like this, you need to defend your rights. It is recommended to do the following:
- Find out who gave the illegal order to place the car in the impound lot.
- Prepare a complaint. It is sent to the prosecutor's office or court.
- Challenge the requirement to pay the costs of towing the car and storing it in the impound lot.
Examples of judicial practice
Judicial practice is replete with thousands of cases of appealing fines for illegal parking.
First of all, it is worth noting the Moscow application we mentioned, which, according to the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, is not a means of photographic or video recording, which automatically cancels the ability to issue fines under this program. In practice, the Moscow City Court, however, often keeps fines in force, since local authorities have modified the program to meet the requirements of the RF Armed Forces.
- The second example from judicial practice concerns evidence that the fined person was not driving the vehicle at the time of the violation. The car was used by the lessee while the lessor received a decree. For the purpose of appeal, the landlord provided a copy of the lease agreement, the MTPL policy and cash orders, which allowed the applicant to cancel the fine.
- The third example clearly demonstrates the benefits of a green space register. A driver from Moscow parked his car in the yard, but received a fine of 5,000 rubles for parking on the lawn. The case reached the Moscow City Court, which requested information from the AIS “Register of Green Spaces.” From the data obtained, it turned out that the parking space does not belong to lawns, therefore, the fine was unfounded.
- There was a similar case in Kursk, but there the judge emphasized that no protocol was drawn up for examining the scene of the incident, which is why there is no strong evidence of violations.
It is noteworthy that previously fines for parking on lawns were rare occurrences. They gained particular popularity and distribution a couple of years ago, when the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation issued a ruling according to which regions had the opportunity to independently establish the responsibility of drivers for violating urban amenities.
However, a draft of a new Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is currently being developed, which will spell out the federal standard of liability for parking on the lawn. This means that virtually all regional penalties for this will be illegal, and fines will be issued under a single article.
Payment
A monetary penalty is imposed by the traffic police, MADI or other authorized bodies. Periodically, raids are carried out in courtyard areas to identify violators. The driver learns about the monetary penalty after it has been applied.
A fine for parking on a lawn in 2021 can be challenged. However, proving innocence is problematic. If a citizen admits his guilt, it is recommended to carry out the procedure for paying a fine for parking on a lawn as quickly as possible. For the convenience of citizens, several payment methods have been developed:
- while visiting a bank that accepts payment of fines;
- using ATMs or terminals;
- through the bank’s online system;
- using electronic wallets;
- by contacting the traffic police.
It is acceptable to use the State Services portal. The system makes it possible to make payments with minimal time expenditure. However, the option is available only to registered users. When a person has acquired an account in the public service system, he will be able to receive notifications about fines and tax debts. The process of depositing funds through the portal is carried out according to the following scheme:
- The citizen completes the authorization procedure, then clicks on the traffic police fines section.
- The presence of monetary penalties is checked. If they are available, you need to click on the pay button.
- Then you have to choose a payment method. Closing of obligations is carried out using the non-cash method. No commission is charged. Money arrives almost instantly.
- If required, printing a receipt is acceptable.
Discount on fines for parking on the lawn
Federal Law No. 437 of December 22, 2014 On amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in Article 32.2, paragraph 1.3, established the ability to pay fines with a 50% discount. The discount on paying fines for parking on the lawn in 2021 also applies. Payment must be made 20 days from the date of the decision. The date is recorded in the upper left corner of the document. It is not recommended to wait until the last few days. Transferring funds usually takes several days.
If the payment was made within 21 days, the fine for parking on the lawn will have to be paid in full.
What is considered a lawn when parking a vehicle?
A lawn is an area of land planted with grass. It serves as an element of landscaping. There are lawns in parks and squares where they are intended for walking. In squares and parks, lawns are not always separated by curbstones. But in these cases they do not have a direct connection with the highway.
Considering the fact that the lawn is not part of the road and is usually separated from it by a curb, parking a car in such a place is a violation of the Traffic Rules, for which a fine is imposed for parking on the lawn.
To be fair, it should be noted that the concept of “lawn” is not in the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Traffic Regulations. Hence many controversial issues regarding fines. However, in regional laws you can find different designations for this territory. Among other things, they contain provisions where the authorities demand payment from the culprit for damage to the lawn.
What should I do if I received a fine for parking on the lawn by mistake?
In practice, a fine for parking on a lawn may be issued erroneously. If a person is sure that he did not violate, and monetary penalties are listed in the database, in 2021 the following actions must be taken:
- Familiarize yourself with the features of the protocol. If it is not true, you can safely move on to the next step. When a fine is issued using a camera, the protocol is always supplemented with a photograph. If it shows a photo of another car, then in this case it will be much easier to prove that the citizen did not violate the rules.
- Contact the traffic police. Here you can find out the origin of the fine. Often the error occurs due to incorrect data entry into the database. If this fact becomes clear, the penalty may be lifted within a few days. Data about him will simply be removed from the database.
- If representatives of the authorized body refuse to carry out the procedure and do not want to admit that the imposition of punishment was erroneous, it is recommended to begin the appeal procedure.
Appealing a fine for parking on the lawn
If a fine is imposed for parking on a lawn, the motorist can pay the fine or appeal the decision. The procedure must be initiated within 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the resolution. The rule is enshrined in Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. It is recommended to proceed according to the following scheme:
- Draw up a complaint and send it to the authorized body. You need to contact the organization that issued the protocol.
- Wait for the application to be reviewed. In accordance with Federal Law No. 59 of May 2, 2006 On the procedure for considering appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation, a response must be given within 30 days. If the situation is complex, the period can be extended to 2 months.
- Go to court if the answer was not given within the established period, or the decision made does not suit the citizen.
Often the termination of a case is carried out on formal grounds. Often, representatives of the state administration violate procedural law and also do not comply with the statute of limitations. In accordance with Article 4.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a person can be held accountable if no more than 3 months have passed since the date of the violation.
Applications to appeal a fine for parking on the lawn can be found here.
How to challenge (appeal) a decision?
If a driver believes that he was given a fine for parking on the lawn illegally, he can appeal it. But this must be done within 10 days from the date of receipt of the notification.
There must also be compelling reasons for such a statement. For example, it is not clear that the car is parked on the lawn, it is difficult to determine the exact location of the car, etc. Another reason for appeal may be the objective need to stay in this particular place.
There are other reasons when a driver can win a dispute and avoid punishment:
- the area that is considered a lawn is not present on the plan of this territory;
- there is no grass cover or any greenery at all;
- The car owner stopped on the lawn and did not turn off the engine, and he was given a fine for parking.
A complaint about unjustified prosecution can be submitted to the traffic police in person or sent by mail.
Car owners can also challenge the fine in court. This is a more expensive method, but sometimes the most effective. This is done when the land is not a lawn. Then you should submit an application to the court and attach a copy of the cadastral plat, which indicates the purpose of each territory. We recommend that you consult an auto lawyer on our website before filing a claim. It's free.
In order to challenge the punishment, submit the following documents:
- a statement expressing disagreement with the decision;
- a copy of the resolution itself;
- documents confirming the motorist’s innocence.
Evidence may include witness statements, a site plan, video recorders or surveillance cameras.
Nuances
Employees of the authorized body must also prove that an offense was committed. Fines are imposed in the following situations:
- The person was caught at the scene of the crime.
- There are photos and videos confirming the fact of stopping on the lawn.
- There are numerous testimonies that become the reason for contacting the authorized body.
Traffic police representatives have the right to seize surveillance records from nearby buildings. The action is applied if there are suspicions of illegal actions being committed, but there is little evidence. If the representative of the authorized body does not have enough arguments, you can try to challenge the fine. If a monetary penalty has already been imposed, the motorist will have to prove his innocence.
Where can I complain?
If you find a car parked on the lawn, a complaint about this can be sent to the following authorities:
- Territorial division of the traffic police.
- District or city administration.
- Commissions established by municipalities to combat illegal parking.
Sample complaint about parking on the lawn online
It is important to take into account that anonymous letters are not accepted for consideration. Therefore, when drawing up a complaint, the applicant must indicate his data, contacts for feedback and evidence confirming the fact of the offense. Evidence can be provided by photographs and video materials in which the license plate of the car is clearly readable, and it is clearly visible that the car is parked on the lawn.
