Chen Yingjie, chief of the parking operation section, said that in addition to the temporary suspension of parking fees in the city's on-street parking sections, privately-owned parking lots outside the roads are entrusted with automatic control of access.

If unscrupulous people collect parking fees from the public in the name of the management unit in the public off-street parking lot that is not under the aforementioned entrance and exit control, their behavior will involve crimes such as theft, fraud, etc., and the Transportation Bureau will cooperate with the police to strengthen investigations.

In addition, on Ching Ming Festival, the police still accept public reports of illegal parking cases, and the tow truck will also cooperate with the police to carry out the towing and relocation operation, and appeals to the public not to seek convenience for a while, because they will be fined for illegal parking.
