Über diese Trap
Street parking in Calgary is paid by licence plate and a four-digit ParkPlus zone number, and that number is on the nearby sign, not on the pay machine. Entering the machine ID is the classic mistake. Pay machines do not credit unused time, so if you want to pay only for the time you stay, use an account or the text option, or use Pay as Guest if you have no account. Start the session before you walk away.
