Poll question: How much is a parking ticket where you live?

Just talking a run of the mill expired meter sorta ticket. I just paid off a $35 one. I remember when they were like $5 and if you paid it within an hour or so it was like $3.

1. 35

I've gotten three of them in the past year and its not like I can afford them either. So lame.

4. Yeah. And the bad thing is I actually did pay

We have one of those systems where you put your space number in and pay. Well, I entered the wrong space number. Already got amnesty once before when I did that and had my receipt, so I don't think I'd get it again.

7. We use tags

If you forget to hang your tag, it's like $50. If you go to court and prove you have a tag but just forgot to hang it, they still hit you with $25 court costs. Really sucks.

2. $8 if you pay right away

But it gets more expensive the longer you wait to pay.

8. $5 in Door County, WI

Got a ticket for parking the wrong way on a one-way street (the street was not clearly marked!).

But I was shocked that it was only $5!

9. depends

€15-€25 for "simple" cases, but it can get really expensive in extreme e cases - up to several hundred € (hint: don't park in the Federal district).
I don't know exactly - I have never been ticketed so far.
