Why have so many vehicle owners overlooked the signs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Almost everyone who lives on or near Bl&uuml;cherplatz knows that there is a weekly market on Bl&uuml;cherplatz on Mondays and Thursdays. And that means no parking from midnight to 5 p.m. But sometimes, like today, there is also a weekly market on Wednesday and no parking on Kiel&rsquo;s Bl&uuml;cherplatz. If Thursday is a public holiday, the weekly market will take place on Wednesday, one day earlier than usual.<\/p>\n<p>But as it is with habits, some find it difficult to change. Because for all vehicle owners who had not driven their car from Bl&uuml;cherplatz on Tuesday evening, there was a nasty surprise on Wednesday morning: the car was gone and market stalls were set up on Bl&uuml;cherplatz instead.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:

by one day<\/h2>\n<p>However, the attentive driver had already had the opportunity to adjust to the changed parking situation for several days. Because signs were put up at all access roads to Bl&uuml;cherplatz, which announced the parking ban for Wednesday, October 2nd, 2019 from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. But on Tuesday evening around 11 p.m., hundreds of vehicles were still parked on Bl&uuml;cherplatz. Significantly more vehicles than on other days when the weekly market takes place on the Bl&uuml;cher the following day.<\/p>\n<p>Were the vehicle owners not paying enough attention and did hundreds of drivers overlook the signs? Was it force of habit, because normally the car shouldn&rsquo;t be parked on Bl&uuml;cherplatz until Wednesday evening?<\/p>\n<h2>Tow trucks in constant use<\/h2>\n<p>Several tow trucks were in continuous use for hours, towing away one vehicle after the other that had been parked on Bl&uuml;cherplatz.<\/p>\n<h2>Where are the towed vehicles towed and what happens next?<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who ignores the parking ban on Bl&uuml;cherplatz will be towed away. The Bl&uuml;cher must be free when the first vehicles at the market stalls want to set up their stalls early in the morning, sometimes even before 6 a.m. The first vehicles are usually towed away before 5 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>The towed vehicles are usually taken to Feldstra&szlig;e by the tow truck and parked at the side of the road in the parking areas between Hebbelschule and Mercatorstra&szlig;e.<\/p>\n<p>The good news for vehicle owners: After a 10-minute walk from Bl&uuml;cherplatz to Feldstrasse, you can get into the vehicle and drive off. Working people may lose 10-20 minutes of time, but can then start their usual commute to work.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there is also bad news when post from the city of Kiel arrives in the mailbox one to three weeks later. Usually there are two letters, each with a payment request for violating the parking ban (around 20 euros) and for towing the vehicle (around 150 euros).<\/p>\n<h2>Viedo: Tow trucks in continuous use on the Bl&uuml;cherplatz<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:800px;max-height:450px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W_6fqPwiUkg?wmode=transparent&amp;autoplay=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1419],"tags":[1420,1421,1922,1692],"class_list":["post-10912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bluecherplatz-en","tag-bluecherplatz-en","tag-no-parking","tag-tow-truck","tag-weekly-market","gallery-content-unit"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10912"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10912\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10914,"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10912\/revisions\/10914"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
