Commercial and private parking areas in Tyrol are being increasingly rigorously monitored. A recent case shows that a stop of just seven minutes is enough to be penalized. Specialized surveillance companies are often behind this, and the district authorities have to help them investigate drivers.

More than 600,000 registered motor vehicles are currently driving through Tyrol, and the trend has been rising for decades. No wonder that the scarce parking space is increasingly being paid for, and rigorous monitoring is also on the increase - up to and including immediate actions for trespassing.
