Toronto's version of parking meters

Toronto does not have individual meters for each space. It has a machine for each block where you can buy a ticket with coins or a credit card. Then the machine prints you a receipt showing how much time you paid for that you put on your dashboard of your car and the meter attendants will come by and check it.



Here's the meter from a few feet away. The thing on the top is a solar collector. This is on College Street in Little Italy.



These are the new parking enforcement vehicles. Most of them are still regular sized cars.

Two of these will be issued to each parking control officer to use as roller skates.
