ParkSafely is a simple iPhone web application that helps you to avoid fines when you have to park on the street.

Basically it will notify you by sending an email alert telling you that you have to move the car or you will be fined :o)

Well, I try to avoid using my car as much as possible. For example, when I go to work I try to walk, use my bike or take public transportation, so there are weeks where I don’t have to move my car from its parking location.

The problem is that with so many parking signs and so many parking restrictions I tend to forget where I have left my car, which side of the street and the restrictions on that side…more often than not I get the pleasant surprise of a ticket on my windshield :o)

So it seems I wrote this application for myself mainly, but I thought it could also help other people avoid parking fines.

1. Once you have parked, enter the application and it will automatically detect where you have parked.

- If nobody has parked yet on that street, it will give you an option to add the parking restrictions of that street.

(This can be annoying I know, but if you always park on the same street(s) and nobody else parked there before, you only have to do it once.)

- If someone has already parked there, it will show you a list of parking restrictions that have been already entered for that street; the idea is to have some sort of online history so you don’t have to fill parking restrictions again... just select them.

You will also see a “Hits” number that means how many people have selected that parking restriction so you can be sure it is likely the more appropriate one.

2.Once you have selected the parking restriction it will ask you for your email and the date & hour of when you want to be notified.

…and that’s pretty much it, just a couple of clicks and no more fines…

That is the only purpose of this! :o)
