Short-stay in the center, longer on the edge
Vaals arranges parking in the center with combi parking: permit holders and visitors with a ticket from the meter park on the same on-street spaces. For the resident there is no time limit, for the visitor there is. With a parking ticket you may stay a maximum of 90 minutes, and that ticket costs € 0.25 per 10 minutes. Enough for an errand or a café terrace, not for an afternoon walk to the Drielandenpunt.
If you want to stay longer, there are five spots that are meant for that: the car park under Prins Willem Alexanderplein with the entrance on Beemderlaan, the car park on Sint Paulusstraat ('t Sjanes), Lindenstraat behind the church, the site at Drieland shopping center on Kerkstraat and the one at the Nederlands Hervormde Kerk, also on Kerkstraat.
Every day, including Sunday
The scheme runs from Monday to Sunday between 9:00 and 18:00. Vaals therefore makes no exception for the weekend, logical in a border town where it is busiest on Saturday and Sunday. Outside those hours you do not need to buy a ticket.
On the maps the municipality publishes you see in color which regime applies where: red is combi parking, green is paid parking where only a ticket from the meter is valid, and blue is blue zone, where you may park only with a parking disc. On the special disabled parking spaces you park 3 hours free with a European disabled parking card, provided you use a blue disc; a sign indicates that on the spot.
Paying without overstaying
Because you may only stay an hour and a half in the combi-parking area, the end time of your ticket matters more than the amount. At the meter you buy a block of time in advance; if you are back later, that means a parking fine (naheffingsaanslag). With SimplePark you start a parking action instead as soon as you have parked and stop it when you drive off, and you pay for the time you were there, in the unit the municipality uses. Do keep an eye on the 90 minutes yourself: that limit still applies.
