Pink and grey zone:

In the Raversijde district, there is a pink zone. Near the Hendrik Baelskaai, there is a grey zone. In these zones, you must request your free parking session via the parking machine, unless you have a residents' card (for residents of Raversijde district). It is no longer necessary to put down your blue disc.

The zones have the following provisions:

• In Raversijde, visitors are allowed to park for a maximum of 8 hours straight between 9 am and 8 pm. This does not apply to residents' card holders.
• In Hendrik Baelskaai, you may park for a maximum of 3 hours straight between 9 am and 12 pm.

Attention:

• You can pay electronically at the parking meters with all debit and credit cards as well as contactless with your bank card. You can also use a parking application. It is no longer possible to pay in cash.
• Parking tickets are no longer printed. You will receive confirmation on the parking meter that you have entered all data correctly. You no longer have to return to your car to place your parking ticket behind the windscreen.
• It is forbidden to park your car in a car park reserved for healthcare providers. If parked incorrectly, your car will be towed away by the services. 

Parking info for owners of a second home

Second residents can park for free for the first 30 minutes in an official parking space on the public domain. This used to be done by means of a parking token, but from 1 January 2023 this will be replaced by a one-off digital registration. Only after you have completed this registration, you can park for free for 30 minutes. This can always be done by entering your number plate via the parking meter after you have parked. Second residents have until 31 January 2023 to register via the parking counter, but can already use the 30-minute free parking via the parking meter.

Parking with parking card for people with disabilities

Persons with a disability who have a valid parking card can - in addition to the reserved spaces - also park for free along the public road in the places where one normally has to pay, provided a onetime registration at the parking counter. Do take into account the specified duration that applies and places that are reserved for residential parking, healthcare providers or other specific indications on site.

This one-time registration of a parking card for persons with a disability should be done in the parking counter or via the digital counter.
