Terms for parking

General instructions for parking

• Parking fees apply throughout the year, at all hours, in all zones.
• Possession of a parking permit or a pay and display ticket means you can park your vehicle within the specified zone, but does not give you precedence for a certain parking space.
• Parking areas are intended for workplace parking during working hours.
• Physical parking permits and pay and display tickets are only valid if the original is displayed in the vehicle as directed, i.e. on the inside of the vehicle windscreen, and readable from outside.
• The parking permit is only valid during working hours and may not be used for so-called residential parking.
• The parking permit is personal and may not be given to someone else.
• To park in a designated disabled parking space, you must have a valid disabled parking permit.

Motorcycles

Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles, like cars, and the same parking rules apply to both cars and motorcycles. All motorcycles must be parked in a parking space, and a fee must be paid. Motorcycles can be parked in spaces designated for cars and in "MC spaces." The motorcycle rider must pay the parking fee and leave the parking ticket on the motorcycle unless payment is made via an app.

Motorcycles may only be parked where cars are allowed to park and may not be parked in places such as bicycle racks, sidewalks, lawns, backyards, or outside entrances.

Any parking tickets must be visibly attached to the vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for ensuring that the tickets remain in place and are readable throughout the parking period.

Mopeds, Class 1

The same rules apply to mopeds, class 1, as to motorcycles.

Trailers

You only need to pay the parking fee for the car if the trailer or caravan is attached to it. If a trailer or caravan is parked without a car, a fee must be paid for the trailer.

Vehicles with service cards

• The service card is valid in service spaces for a maximum of 2 hours with a parking disc.
• When a vehicle is parked in a loading zone, loading or unloading must occur. If the service spaces are occupied, regular parking spaces within the area must be used.
• The service card is only valid in its original form and may not be copied16.
• The cost of the card should correspond to 5 times the current price for a parking decal in Zone C.

The service card is not valid in the following places:

• Where there is a stop prohibition, barrier line, lawn, or at an entrance/exit.
• In spaces reserved for disabled individuals or in rented spaces.
• In spaces with a parking prohibition.

Parking permits for contractors

The permit is primarily valid for parking in marked, fee-based parking spaces, except for rented spaces, service spaces, and spaces for disabled individuals. The permit entitles you to park in fee-based parking spaces and in spaces marked "Endast zontillstånd".

The permit entitles you to park in spaces with a parking prohibition for up to eight consecutive hours, close to entrances, for easy loading and unloading. If regular access to the vehicle is not required to perform the work, it must be parked in a marked parking space after loading and unloading. Note that emergency vehicles must always have a clear path and that evacuation routes must not be blocked. Therefore, it is not allowed to park on emergency routes or directly adjacent to entrances where the vehicle becomes an obstacle in the event of an evacuation of the building. In case of misuse, the parking permit may be revoked.

Inspection fees

If you do not comply with the instructions on the road signs and other signs at the car park entrances, you may be liable to pay an inspection fee of SEK 500. If you should park in a disabled parking space without a permit, the fee is SEK 1300.

You may be liable to pay an inspection fee in the following cases:

• A valid parking permit or day pass is missing or not plainly visible from outside the vehicle.
• The vehicle is parked outside the marked parking space
• The vehicle is, according to the sign, parked in a reserved or leased parking space.
• The vehicle remains parked for more than 14 consecutive hours in zone C, or 24 hours in the A, B or Budget zones.
• Parking areas are used for so-called residential parking, in which case the parking permit is revoked.
• The fee has not been paid at the pay and display ticket machine, via SMS or with the Parkster app.

If parking areas are used for residential parking the parking permit will be revoked.

LKP is responsible for the University’s parking and parking inspections. Parking tickets are issued by, and are to be paid to, LKP.

Payment and validity period

Payment of parking permits is made by credit card. A parking permit is valid from 1 September to 31 January or 7 January to 15 September. If you lose your parking permit it will not be replaced. Damaged parking permits can be replaced at the Parking Office.

Refund of Parking Permits

Parking permits are only refunded when the permit is valid for entire terms and no later than five working days after the period has started.
