British car parks start reading number plates

M0JDR

Well the Public car parks in Welwyn Garden City using this system work differently, the number plate is read when arriving at the car park when you leave you pay on foot at a machine, this involves typing in part of you reg number and identifying the photo of your car from 3 possible ones shown it then tells you the charge which you pay either by cash or card and then driving out, no barriers involved. There is also an option to pay online and I think you have 24hrs grace in which to do it. It has been i operation nearly a year and seems to work well, surprisingly!
