Summary
A profession that regularly patrols parking meters installed on roadsides, collects, tallies, and manages parking fees.
Description
Roadside parking meter patrol collectors patrol parking meters installed on streets by vehicle or on foot, handling the collection of parking charges from coin slots. Collected cash is stored in a dedicated box, and upon returning to the designated office, they perform tallying and reporting. This includes equipment operation checks, simple maintenance, and responding to citizen inquiries. Route planning and efficient time management are required, and since they handle cash, accuracy and high attention to detail are essential.

Due to the spread of cashless payments, coin-operated parking meters are on a decreasing trend, and changes in job content, such as the introduction of electronic payment-compatible devices, are expected.
