Summary
Parking monitors patrol roads to monitor and record illegal parking, issuing movement orders to vehicles to contribute to smooth traffic flow and safety assurance.
Description
Parking monitors are contracted by local governments to patrol designated areas. Upon discovering illegally parked vehicles, they affix marking stickers to tires and hand over movement orders after a certain period. They use dedicated smartphones or tablet devices for photography and recording, compile reports, and submit them to the local government. The job involves long outdoor walks, work in rainy weather, and occasional negotiations with citizens, requiring accuracy and communication skills.
Future Outlook
Demand is stable to increasing due to urban traffic congestion relief and stricter regulations. On the other hand, the introduction of automatic monitoring systems may lead to improved operational efficiency.
