Traffic wardens in Denmark’s capital have refused to tell parking offenders what rules they broke.


Following numerous complaints from motorists the Danish Broadcasting Corporation requested and received a 110 page document spelling out how traffic wardens should behave and how and when they should issue tickets.

But key sections of the guidance, including the pages concerning the rules setting out the circumstances for issuing tickets, had been blanked out by the Copenhagen parking authority.

Traffic wardens claimed that if drivers became aware of the information they would lose respect for traffic law and probably try to work around the rules.

Finally, the authorities declared that parking rules were “exempt” from freedom of information laws because “it is necessary for the protection of significant considerations regarding the implementation of public control”

That's almost as bad as explaining what law was enacted AFTER the vote.

Sounds like a good old fashion quote system to me.

If they don't make the rules known, how do you know where/when/how to park legally?
