1. Multi-Site Permit Verification

A QR-based permit encodes the permitted sites, valid hours, and vehicle registration. Enforcement officers at any site scan to verify without checking a separate list.

2. Overflow and Visitor Management

During busy periods, temporary overflow permits are issued with short-validity QR codes. Parking managers issue from a web form; the permit arrives by SMS in seconds.

3. Permit Applications

A QR on the car park entrance sign links to the permit application form: number of permits available, eligibility criteria, and a waitlist if full.

4. Enforcement Audit Log

Each scan by an enforcement officer is logged with time, location, and officer ID. The log provides evidence for appeals and identifies sites with high non-compliance rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a QR permit system replace physical permit stickers on windscreens?

Yes. A digital display of the QR permit on the phone, or a printed permit, are both verified the same way by enforcement scanners.

How do overflow permits prevent abuse from the previous day?

Set a validity window of hours, not days. A permit valid from 8 am to 6 pm on a specific date cannot be reused the following day.
