Finally found a suitable parking space, a sign indicates that a parking ticket is necessary on weekdays.

Is Saturday always a working day?
Accordingly, one should not confuse working day with working day. Rather, the term "working day" is to be understood as a distinction from "Sunday and public holiday". For this reason, you should pay attention to traffic signs with the addition "working day" or "weekdays" even on Saturdays.
But to make things a little more complicated: Saturday is not a working day when it comes to deadlines. For example, if rental agreements state that the rent must be paid on the third working day of the month, Saturday is not included, because banks usually do not work on this day.
