# Mont-Saint-Aignan adopts QR Blue for resident parking

The town of **Mont-Saint-Aignan** has just created a blue zone in the **Saint André district**, right next to Rouen Rive-Droite railway station. For this rollout, the town chose the **white label** offered by QR Blue: residents know the service as **“QR MSA”**, in the town's own colours — a concrete example of how QR Blue can blend entirely into a local authority's identity.
Since the City of Rouen introduced paid parking in this area, pressure on residents' parking spaces has risen sharply. Mont-Saint-Aignan chose a blue zone, combined with QR Blue permits for its residents, as the best way to reconcile **parking turnover** with **peace of mind for residents**.

## A blue zone governed by a municipal by-law

A municipal by-law sets the new rules in the Saint André district:

- **Parking limited to 2 hours**, Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays);
- Residents registered with QR Blue are **exempt from the time limit**, with **two permits per household**;
- Each QR badge is **valid for two years** and can be checked at any time by sworn officers with a simple scan.

📌 **What QR Blue brings to residents and the town**:

- A **unique QR badge**, displayed on the windscreen, with no licence plate visible on it: the link between plate and QR stays secured on the central server.
- **100% online registration and renewal** on the town's self-service portal, with upload of supporting documents (property tax notice, proof of address, vehicle registration certificate, ID).
- **No reprinting** needed when a permit is extended: the badge stays valid, only the database is updated.
- **Instant on-street checks** through a web app with nothing to install, to verify a permit's validity in a single scan.

## Self-service, an asset for residents and municipal services alike

At the heart of QR Blue, the **self-service counter** lets residents of the streets concerned handle their own procedures, 24/7, from the town's website:

- Apply for a badge and follow their application in real time;
- Check the validity of their permit at any time;
- Reprint their QR code if it is lost, without going back to the town hall;
- Receive an e-mail at each step: decision, badge to download, reminder before expiry.

For the town, this automation **lightens the workload of administrative services**: applications are processed online with no re-keying, and supporting documents are deleted once the decision is made, in line with the GDPR. Staff also have a **dashboard and real-time usage statistics** to manage the blue zone as closely as possible to the district's needs.

## A rollout that meets a real resident parking challenge

With QR Blue, Mont-Saint-Aignan shows how a local authority can respond quickly to new parking pressure caused by changing policies in neighbouring towns, without adding to its staff's workload:

- Better protection of resident parking in the Saint André district,
- Paper permits replaced by a secure, tamper-proof QR badge,
- Simpler on-street checks for the municipal police,
- Fully online procedures for residents.

The service is about to open: residents of the streets concerned will soon be able to apply directly online.
