does anyone here had the same experience, who got parking ticket for parking in front of pizzahut in airport road (near traffic lights and matar qadeem)?

Just tonight, i went to nero blanco gym to have exercise. i have not went for several weeks until tonight i went back. then i bought a small pizza from pizzahut for my dinner. when i went to my car to go home, i saw the parking ticket.

there were some pizzahut staffs outside their store, so i thought they complained to police regarding the parking area. i confronted the staffs there asking about the matter.i told im a customer of nero blanco and your store. if they want the parking only for them, they put signs there "for pizzahut customers only". but they said they did not complain to police. and they even told me that some of their customers got stickers as well whenever they eat in their store.

actually that parking area is somewhat the curve of the road. when i saw some cars parked in the other side (left, near the highway which has no line) there were cars which had stickers as well.

i was thinking, why the police does not allow parking in that area where pizzahut can almost claim that it is for their customers parking? why they dont even put no parking signs there? my friend told me, police randomly go to and check that area. he said it was a bad luck for me.

i have not seen the violation in the MOI website till now.do you think i can still contest on this one?

thanks for your suggestion in advance.

Well to be honest has anyone ever tried parking there in the evening.. I've often been to collect a pizza (quicker then home delivery!!) and there's no parking spaces anywhere in that area. Al Rawnaq is always packed as is Nero Bianco and there just aren't enough spaces so the only option is to park over by the kerb. It's that or keep driving round until someone leaves and let your pizza get cold... I know its not great but unfortunately due to the ever fantastic planning skills of Qatar they have once again underestimated the parking needed!

mate,never got a parking ticket there but i know the road you're talking about,have stopped briefly there to pick up pizza but was always checking to see if the cops show up,it's as clear as daylight that it's a no-parking zone,what the hell do you need a sign for mate???...

I have to agree with coelacanth, common sense would tell you that parking on a bend is not senisble and excusing the fact by saying there is a restaurant close by just doesn't wash. At least in future you will pay more attention to where you can legally park and avoid a fine.

Just because others do things wrong don't be a lemming !

Pay up !

Just use common sense when parking...you know it's a curb, and it's a small one way road, and you are questioning why did you get a ticket? Driving is not always by road signs...you need to use a lot of common sense.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

bro i got the same parking ticket over there but its obvious tht is not parking area....may be there is no sign but u can read the road line also.....road lines tell us where to park and where not to....so if police have fined for tht is the right reason...

its quite unfair bro. how someone will know that such area is not allowed for parking especially that there is restaurant in front, if traffic dept does not put 'no parking' sign there?

if i know i parked wrongly, i wont waste time complaining.

but this one ill give it a try and contest against it.

wish me luck.
