fine of between 10 and 30 euros

Be careful when parking in the supermarket parking lot
What about parking on the supermarket square *?
There, some parking lot operators want to ensure that only their own customers use the parking lot while they shop inside.
"
Since it is private property, those affected have to adhere to the rules,"
emphasizes the automobile club.
The rules, in turn, should be "clearly visible", it says on

for example at the entrance to the parking lot.
"
Cars without a parking disc or with an exceeded time can then also be towed
away
or subject to contractual penalties."
