The Chennai Corporation has decided to levy a fine of Rs. 80 per hour for cars parked on footpaths. The fine amount for motorcycles will be Rs. 20 per hour.

The civic body will also collect fines from those who park in no-parking zones. “The fines will be Rs. 160 per hour for parking on a footpath along a road in premium parking areas. The parking management system will identify the violators and the total time of parking in the no-parking areas. Violators cannot escape without paying fine,” said an official.
The civic body has started installation of cameras in all the localities to identify violators. Ahead of the launch of the system, the civic body has started identifying premium parking spaces along roads in posh residential and commercial neighbourhoods.
