Parking checks by scan cars
Breda Council uses scan cars to check parked cars. The scan car checks whether a car is allowed to park in a particular place. The scan car takes a photo of the number plate and checks the parking permit or payment details in the system. You will recognise the scan cars by the cameras on their roofs and the wording ‘Scanauto’ (Scan car) and ‘Handhaving Gemeente Breda’ (Breda Council Enforcement) on the side.
What you need to know
- The scan car takes a photo of the number plate.
- If you see the scan car and you haven't yet paid, you have 10 minutes to make the payment after the scan car has taken a photo.
- The system is checked to see whether there is a valid parking permit or whether the full parking costs have been paid.
- If there is no valid parking permit or if the parking costs haven't been paid, the registered owner will receive a parking fine within 2 weeks.
