- New parking regulations for white and blue zones begin January 1, 2027.
- Large cities will no longer offer universal free parking to residents.
- Cities must divide parking areas into zones, limiting free access.
- Free parking will be restricted in commercial and entertainment districts.
- Non-resident parking fees will be capped at 30% higher than resident rates.
Starting January 1, 2027, new regulations will be implemented regarding car parking in urban areas marked with white and blue curbs. A significant change will affect residents of large cities who currently hold municipal parking permits, allowing them to park for free throughout their city. Under the new rules, cities with populations exceeding 120,000 will be prohibited from offering blanket free parking to all residents across the entire city. Local authorities will be required to divide these cities into zones, meaning free parking will no longer be universally available, particularly in commercial, business, and entertainment districts. The amendments also stipulate that the cost of parking for non-residents cannot exceed 30% of the price set for city residents. Car owners with existing parking permits are advised to review the specific new regulations for their city, which become effective on January 1, 2027, and also to check the parking rules in any other town or city they plan to visit and park in.
