Free parking

On-street parking in Leirvik is normally free in the evening, at night and on Sundays and public holidays — but the charging hours are set by the municipality and shown on the sign, so always check the signs. Car parks and garages usually charge around the clock. The most reliable free options are park-and-ride sites and time-limited parking-disc spaces.

Time-limited free parking with a parking disc at most public spaces
Two hours free (with a disc) at, among others, Torget, the SKE building, Osen, Borggata, the express-boat terminal and the parking deck by NAV
Ten hours free (with a disc) at Sæ and Vabakkjen
Sundays: no time limit
AMFI Stord: 2 hours free

EV charging and parking

The time limit and the parking-disc requirement also apply to EVs. AMFI Stord has EV charging stations.

Electric and hydrogen cars now normally pay the ordinary charge on municipal parking. There is no national free-or-discount rule — each municipality decides for itself whether to grant an exemption (Parking Regulations § 34), and more and more charge the full price. Check locally.

The national EV rules (charging bay vs. parking space, cross-parking, why the price varies) are on the EV parking page.

Disabled parking

The time limit and parking disc also apply to people with a disabled card. At spaces signed with sign 552, people with reduced mobility may stay as long as they like.

The national disabled-parking rules (what the card gives you, applying, double time) are on the disabled parking page.

Common mistakes and fines

National rates and appeal rules

In Norway there are two different reactions to illegal parking, with different rules and different appeal routes:

Control sanction (contract parking)

Issued by the parking company on private and municipal regulated spaces:

660 kr — ordinary breach
330 kr — missing documentation on time-limited free parking
990 kr — parking in a space reserved for disabled permit holders

Legal basis: the Parking Regulations § 36. First appeal to the parking company within 3 weeks (§ 44). If your appeal is rejected, the case can be taken to the Parking Complaints Board within one year. Read more about the control sanction.

Parking fee (public road)

Issued by the police or the municipality for breaches of the traffic rules and sign regulations:

900 kr

Legal basis: the Regulations on public parking fees § 2. Appeal to the municipality or police within 3 weeks. If rejected, the case can be taken to the district court. Read more about the parking fee.

Why there are two systems, and how to tell which one you are in: private vs. public parking.
