Japan Parking

A while ago, in a move to clamp down on illegal parking, the police invited civilians to join in on looking for offenders. Not just anybody can sign up to be a traffic warden though and you need to be working for one of the many incorporated companies that signed contracts with the police like the security and real estate management businesses.
Now that civilians are in on the act, you see very otaku looking like folks dressed in these green uniforms carrying around with them a terminal and a digital camera. They need to take a picture of the offending vehicle in order for them to get their commission I guess. You see them squatting to take a picture of the car with a smug face.
Photo taken at Akihabara some time last month.
I personally haven't been ticketed for illegal parking in Japan. The streets are so incredibly unclearly labeled that I'm not sure where I'm allowed to park so I always end up looking for coin parking.
Speaking of parking, this is how you should not be parking your car.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

as you should know Danny, Traffic wardens here in the UK are a severely hated breed. since most of them are a sly bunch of mothers usually forced by their companies to meet certain targets e.g. clamp X amount of cars a day...because of this they usually find themselves on the receiving end of a lot of Verbal & Physical abuse which I don't at all condone

Parking here is very flexible, you see people double parked a lot of the time. I never tend to put money in the metre as attendents come buy and stick the "bill" under your windscreenwiper (it is the same price, about USD1 per hour, whether you use the metre or have the parking attendent do it for you). you can pay for 3-4 days at any convenience store.

Haha Mirai itasha, that's so nice :)
Guess there is parking issues everywhere ^^
Where I live, there used to be free car parks all arround the town center, but they've all become places where you have to pay 1EUR to enter and park you vehicule.
There are also some place you can park, along the sidewalk of the street, but have to pay at kind of ticket machines for every single minute you stay there, and that's expensive.
But since it only costs between 10EUR and 20EUR when you're ticketed for illegal parking, lot of people don't care and go for parking freely, due to the very low frequency of ticket delivery. Policemen are a bit lazy ^^;

I live in suburbia Long Island and parking isn't usually an issue but for some reason my town, Selden, has many how should I say "special" people and all the side roads in my town have cars parked on both sides outside the properties to the point where one car can barely fit through the road even when they have a mile of clear driveway to park them. I know for a fact that in Japan you are not allowed to do this and you would be fined alot. As much as these wardens piss me off I sure want them here in Selden.

There's not a lot of police that tries to issue tickets around here, they are not that strict and frankly I don't mind. But during the holidays, they'd really crank it up a notch and become so strict that even just the tiniest mistake they'd issue you a ticket. Of course the reason for this is because most people wouldn't want to be issued and would just pay the officer some cash to let it slide. Go figure. heheh! ^^

Very otaku looking-like folks"... Ha ha ha, sounds like Konata referring everything to anime and manga.
Yes, I admit that when I was in Paris (France) it was quite the mayhem about car parking and also that cops weren't too much on this matter (like lu-k said). For many, it is a bit like lottery: If you had a ticket, you would blame it on bad luck rather than saying to yourself that you should have tried to be more responsible and had paid first.
Ironically enough, this is both a source of concern as it could really give the government a good amount of dough, but certain people don't care and accumulate tickets until the president's amnesty comes into action.
Lazy, wily law trespassers ;)

That's a really a lame itasha that the parking wardens are issuing a parking ticket.
I said "lame" because the hard-ass parking wardens are incorrectly issuing a ticket to a car with a white-and-silver Handicapped Parking Permit on the dash. But hey, during Tokyo's Christmas even Rudolph gets a parking ticket. See:

The automated two-story parking lots in Japan are really cool, especially the ones in Tokyo. It exactly the same kind of parking that you see in Tokyo Drift (The Fast and the Furious 3). Wish we had one of those in the Philippines. the kind of parking they have maximizes space (and profit), not to mention, very cool.

Hmm seems like a pain in the ass to look for parking lots at least in Tokyo. Not too much trouble in most of Osaka though ^^

Here in Korea we can park our trucks anywhere because there is no where for us to park, we can even leave our trailers on the road.
