Everything is different at Solidere

December 8th, 2009 Rami Leave a comment Go to comments

Parking meters around Beirut all allow free parking after 5 or 6 PM except in Solidere! As you can see in the below photo, free parking is only allowed after 11 PM (Monday to Saturday).

In addition, as shown in the below photo a flat rate of 3,000L.L applies between 8 & 11 PM (Monday to Saturday), and to my knowledge it doesn’t exist anywhere else, even in the busy Hamra street.

So what’s so special about Solidere to set the parking meters in it that way?!

    this is not necessarily an anomaly or a solidere/lebanon thing.
    the same rules apply in “better” areas of Washington DC for instance.

    solidere has no authority over the parking meters.

    @Phil
    Well, Solidere might not have an authority over the meters, but it has enough power to make the municipality of Beirut to enforce that flat rate in order to push people to park at the old parking spaces, where you have to pay 2250 L.L.

    @Liliane
    maybe that’s the purpose of the flat rate, to make u park at the old places ;)
