In just over a week a total of $25,956 in fines had been given out, with each individual fine being $63.
The parking restrictions that caught drivers off guard limited people to one hour of parking between 7am-10am, a strategy Lord Mayor Graham Quirk explains, intended to make it easier for residents to understand local parking restrictions.
