Many streets in Caniço de Baixo are already having the white parking bays repainted in blue for parking and meters have already been installed.

  1. But the obvious question is who checks? Has anyone seen a traffic warden on the island and just how many fines for non payment or staying over the limit have been issued? Are we about to see another growth industry on the island?

    1. Traffic warden gave me a €30 fine in the Garajau 19th December .An oversight on my part, I would normally pay 20 cents for a few mins for a coffee, didn’t do it and paid the price.They (traffic wardens) are prolific in the Garajau/ Cancela area where there are blue lines. Where there are YELLOW lines, they never fine, hence strangulation of traffic in front of Pingo Doce Cancela and in the Garajau. As usual, the police ignore this practice. So I should have just parked on a yellow or cris cross yellow reserved for for buses.

  2. I’ve seen plenty of parking penalty notices issued in Ribeira Brava (no, not my car!). On one particular day over half the cars parked just by the health centre had been slapped with a fine, and it only costs 25 cents per hour to park there! Also near Calheta marina drivers often seem to be unaware that you have to pay to park seven days a week, I have seen the local warden putting penalty notices on lots of cars….

  5. Michael Litten…you should see them on the seafront at Ponta do Sol and Calheta right along the seafront especially around Pingo Doce, they’re constantly patrolling, waiting to pounce quite literally sometimes. ?‍✈️

    1. Obviously in other towns certainly not very many here in Funchal away from the seafront, Sao Pedro where I live is a nightmare and even if someone has parked in front of my garage it usually takes the police 30 minutes to arrive and issue a ticket. Have yet to see one of the multiple abandoned vehicles in roads and carparks around the Pico Fort that have been there for months!

  6. Well they things are going around the council will be asking the property residents to pay a fee to park their cars outside .Like they do around where in Sintra you pay 5 euros for car parking badged ticket to park outside of your house that is valid for 2 years and you only apply to one car the other needs to stay park in the drive .
