The head of the Zagreb SDP: High fines for parking in front of the kindergarten are introduced, these are the amounts

The head of Zagreb's local government, Mateja Mišić of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), announced plans to introduce high fines for parking in front of kindergartens. The proposed fines would be 260 euros for individuals and 660 euros for legal entities, aimed at preventing misuse of designated parking spaces near kindergartens. These measures are part of a draft decision on the use of public parking areas and are currently under public discussion until August 16. Mišić stated that the goal is to reduce traffic chaos around kindergartens during morning and afternoon hours when parents drop off and pick up their children. He criticized irresponsible drivers who have been using these spaces without facing penalties, leading to unsafe conditions for families. Reserved parking spots are intended for parents of kindergarten children and are available between 7 AM to 9 AM and 3 PM to 5 PM. Outside these times, they become regular parking spaces. Enforcement will involve municipal officers and video surveillance. Mišić also mentioned ongoing discussions within the SDP regarding the construction of 11 residential buildings in Borovje, where some residents have protested due to concerns.

Zagreb announced fines of up to 660 euros for parking in front of the kindergarten

The president of Zagreb City Council, Matej Mišić from SDP, announced proposed fines for illegal parking in front of kindergartens. The fines would range from 260 euros for individuals to 660 euros for legal entities, aiming to prevent misuse of reserved parking spaces. Mišić criticized irresponsible car owners who have used these spaces for years without facing sanctions, leading parents to park on the street and endangering themselves and their children. The proposal is part of a new decision on public parking and garages, with public discussion until August 16th. Reserved spots are intended for parents dropping off children at kindergartens between 7-9 AM and 3-5 PM, while other times they function as regular parking spaces. Mišić also mentioned that one vehicle can occupy a spot for up to 15 minutes, monitored by municipal officers and CCTV. He noted that many citizens, regardless of location in the city, have raised concerns about this issue. Additionally, some residents oppose the construction of 11 residential buildings in Borovje, with internal discussions within SDP about balancing the interests of the city and local residents.
