"Cool-guy rangers” in the Hegyvidék. Every motorist may be inadvertently parked irregularly. Anyone who violates the rules risks penalties, but thanks to the new service of the Hegyvidék Municipality, residents of district XII do not have to worry even if they accidentally stopped their vehicle in accordance with the regulations. Instead of immediate punishment, the "cool-guy rangers", i.e. the employees of the Hegyvidék Law Enforcement, draw the attention of motorists to the violation via text message, so that they can correct the mistake within 15 minutes. To use the service, you need to register in the e-administration system of the municipality.

Parking permits in the New Year. The validity of the residential parking permits redeemed for 2023 will expire on 31 January 2024. A new permit must be obtained for this year, which can also be applied for online on the eugyintezes.hegyvidek.hu site. In the e-administration system of the municipality, registration is also possible for the discounted use of the Normafa car park this year. Parking is subject to a fee on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, but after registration, the Hegyvidék Municipality provides a 50% discount for those with a permanent registered address or residence in district XII.
