Answer
How will Palma’s resident parking permits work without the blue ORA sticker?
Palma plans to replace the old windshield sticker with a digital system based on the vehicle’s licence plate. Parking control will be done through scanners and street sensors that check whether a car is registered for the resident zone. The annual fee stays the same, but drivers will need their residence details and vehicle registration up to date.
