--- title: "Short-term parking by QR code, no disc | QR Blue" description: "Free short-term parking zones: declaration by QR instead of the disc, duration in one go or split over the day, checks by number plate." url: https://qrblue.fr/en/short-term-parking language: en --- Short-term parking # Short-term parking: a clear duration, split or not An hour outside the town hall, two hours in the town centre: short-term parking keeps spaces turning over without charging for them. With QR Blue, declaring by QR replaces the disc for everyone, and your by-law decides whether the duration is taken in one go or split over the day. [Request a demo](https://qrblue.fr/en/contact) ## What municipalities face ### A disc moved forward on return The disc is turned at every visit: the maximum duration is never really respected. ### Regulars who chain their stays Without a daily cap, the same vehicle can keep the space all day by leaving for a few minutes and turning the disc. ### Officers without a reliable reference The time set on a disc cannot be verified: checks rely on good faith. ### Rules that differ by area One hour here, two hours there, hours specific to each district: rules that vary are hard to enforce. ## What QR Blue brings - One zone = one maximum duration, time slots and, if needed, extensions - A duration in one go, or split: a daily cap spread over several stays - A minimum wait between two stays to prevent leaving and returning straight away - One QR code per group of spaces, on the zone's signs, with no app for drivers - Checks by plate or by QR code, with the authorised end time - Residents and other permit holders exempted by their badge, with no extra step ## Features used - [Time-limited parking module](https://qrblue.fr/en/features/time-limited-parking) - [Enforcement app](https://qrblue.fr/en/features/enforcement-app) - [QR badges and permits](https://qrblue.fr/en/features/qr-badges) - [Dashboard and statistics](https://qrblue.fr/en/features/statistics) ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a split duration? A daily cap, for example two hours, that drivers use in one or several stays. Each stay started counts in full, even if the driver leaves earlier: the duration cannot be bypassed by leaving and coming back. ### And if the duration must not be split? The maximum duration of one stay is then equal to the daily cap: drivers take it in one go, and a new stay is only possible the next day. ### Does declaring by QR replace the disc? Yes, for the whole zone, if your by-law provides for it: each driver declares their parking by scanning the QR code on the signs. QR Blue does not manage paper-disc blue zones, only their exemptions. ### Can an extension be granted? Yes, per zone: number of extensions and length of each, within the daily cap and the regulated time slots. ### Do residents need to declare their parking? No, if their badge is authorised on the zone: it counts as an exemption, and officers see it when checking the plate. ## Other uses managed by QR Blue - [Blue zoneExemptions for residents and businesses, checks on a smartphone.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/blue-zone-parking) - [Resident permitResidents' permits, applied for and renewed online.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/resident-parking-permits) - [Businesses and tradespeopleTradespeople, shopkeepers, companies: permits with their own rules.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/business-parking-permits) - [Health workersNurses, doctors, home care: one badge across several zones.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/healthcare-parking-permits) - [Municipal staff and servicesService vehicles, staff, teachers: in the same database.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/municipal-staff-parking) - [Temporary zonesEvents, markets, works: permits with a common end date.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/temporary-parking-zones) - [Short-stay parkingVery short-stay spaces outside shops and services, declared by QR.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/short-stay-parking) - [Drop-off zonesOutside schools and stations, stops of a few minutes that stay that way.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/drop-off-zones) - [Paid parkingPayment by plate via QR, with no ticket machine or paper ticket (early 2027).Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/paid-parking) - [Optional moduleTime-limited parking moduleShort stops, limited duration and paid zones (2027), declared by scanning a QR.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/features/time-limited-parking) - [Optional moduleOnline payment moduleFor the badges and zones you choose to charge for.Learn more](https://qrblue.fr/en/features/online-payment) ## Take back control of your parking zones A 30-minute demo, on your own case, with no commitment.
