Four hours is plenty of time for customers to complete their shopping,\u201d Pinsel added.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Kaubamajakas has recently undergone a major expansion, bringing several new brands to the center. \u201cWith more visitors coming to the center, the availability of free parking spaces is a top priority for us. It\u2019s important to emphasize that this new parking system is not about generating revenue but ensuring that visitors always have access to parking,\u201d Pinsel explained. <\/p>\n\n<p>The new parking solution is managed by <strong>Snabb<\/strong>, chosen for its innovative license plate recognition technology, which is already in use at 14 Snabb-operated parking lots across Estonia. <\/p>\n\n<p>According to <strong>Snabb CEO Kustas K\u00f5iv<\/strong><strong>, 90% of parking fines in clock-based parking areas are due to drivers forgetting to set their parking clock<\/strong>. \u201cThe solution is eliminating the need for a parking clock, which license plate recognition cameras make possible. At \u00dclemiste and J\u00e4rve shopping centers, where this technology is in use, the number of fines issued is <strong>ten times lower<\/strong> compared to previous clock-based systems,\u201d K\u00f5iv noted.  <\/p>\n\n<p>After the free parking period ends, visitors can conveniently start paid parking through <strong>the Snabb or Pargi.ee apps or via SMS<\/strong>. Regardless of the payment method used, charges only begin after the initial four-hour free period. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting February 1, a new parking system has been introduced at P\u00e4rnu\u2019s largest shopping center, Kaubamajakas.
