parking ticket

Windshield citation slip

A parking ticket is a citation issued for violating parking regulations—overstaying a meter, parking in a restricted zone, or blocking a fire hydrant.

The ticket typically requires payment of a fine.

I got a parking ticket while I was in the dentist's office.

Unpaid parking tickets can result in vehicle booting or towing.
