According to the information of the security department of LMR, last week parking inspectors fined 5,025 drivers for violating the rules of stopping/parking cars, for a total amount of UAH 1,840,620. Funds from paying fines for improper parking go to the local budget and are directed, in particular, to the needs of our military.
We remind you that the minimum fine is UAH 340. But, depending on the specifics of the offense, it can increase to UAH 680. If the offending driver pays within 10 days, the amount of the fine is halved.
“Drivers are also fined for non-payment of paid parking services. In this case, a fine is imposed in the amount of 20 times the cost of an hour of parking,” said the security department of the LMR.
Also, due to violation of parking rules, 184 vehicles were evacuated to the detention area last week. To return the car, the owner must pay UAH 2,234 for tow truck services, another UAH 140 for one day of car storage at the site.
The Lviv City Hall emphasizes that the work of parking inspectors is primarily aimed at preventing spontaneous parking, improving the discipline of paying for paid parking services, prompt temporary detention of vehicles that create a significant obstacle for other road users.
We will remind you that at the end of March, the campaign “Donate photo violations of parking lots at the Armed Forces of Ukraine” was launched in Lviv, within the framework of which residents can join both the beautification of the city and the donation of funds to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After all, funds from fines for improper parking in Lviv are directed to aid the Ukrainian military.
You can send a photo of an incorrectly parked car in a few clicks using a smartphone via the city’s “Hotline” social network: Telegram bot (https://t.me/Lviv1580bot) or the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/ hotline.lviv
How to submit a photo violation through the Telegram chatbot:
Register.
Select the “New application” section.

Select the subcategory “Parking on lawns and public areas”.
Next, specify the address and add a photo.
In total, since the start of the campaign, the “Hotline” received 1,205 calls from residents with photos of car parking violations.
The Lviv City Council strongly urges drivers not to park their cars in violation of traffic rules, in particular, under the signs “stopping is prohibited”, “parking is prohibited”, at intersections. Chaotic parking complicates road traffic, as well as, in the conditions of martial law, the passage of special vehicles, which ensure the life of the city and help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The list of parking lots is on the Geoportal of Lviv.
