I stopped but did not park my vehicle
The municipality of Rotterdam municipality uses scan cars to check whether people park with a valid parking ticket and whether they have paid enough parking fees.
The vehicle has been registered “stopped longer then permitted”, therefore a fine was issued.
If you still believe the fine was issued incorrectly, please request a manual review.
