Yes, if you over run your time at the hospital, then it is tough on you drivers. Get fined, and there are Wardens to enforce parking times too. Cameras have been installed and if someone kindly offers you their ticket as they still have tim to run on it, if you are caught on camera accepting it, tough. You are also fined for that too. No wonder people say the hospital has become too large for it’s own good.
Very good teaching hospital, but 33 miles of corridor inside is enough to make you one of their patients, not to mention the lack of parking.

LOL…good one, Annied (makes you ill, fills hospital!). Now, when your time limit is up, can you just renew your parking fee for the same space or have to move? What happens if you arrive there early, get a space but your appt. runs late or over…you still get fined or what?

Seems to me, given the panic here over going to a universal health care system, parking would be the worst of it, not the care given!

Parking appears to be a major problem worldwide.
I live in Scotland and it is practically impossible to find a parking space on this planet?
Seems to me the only way to enable anyone to park their car is to be at the appointed car park at 6 am in the morning.
The biggest problem I have found is parking at our local hospital.
They charge for staff. patients and visitors alike. Not too much of a problem but finding a space to actually park your car is nother matter.
The care parks are always full, people have to drive round and round to actually find a space, if that is possible.
If you have an appointment at the hospital, then it is better to start your journey one hour ahead of time. That way, you might just get a space.
If you are lucky enough to find a space, the walk is miles from the hospital.
Not good enough for sick people, staff or visitors.
On top of that, if you run over your time with your parking ticket, then you pay a penalty. Fined £50.
No wonder the hospital is full. Makes you ill just trying to get a parking space.

Hi Nancy,

I have to work in Rehoboth Beach on occasion. I can see your frustration. The whole parking meter thing is well, you know…..

You tell ‘em Nance!!! Bethany Beach will be going through a similar process soon too, if not this year, next. Yes it is mind boggling how long it takes town councils to make the wrong decision on local issues. We wouldn’t mind the wait if it were the correct decision, but it is inevitably the wrong one, and for such, what I consider, basic stuff. We’re not talking about building a nuclear power plant in the center of these towns, just let’s get the meters and parking straightened out! I’m beginning to think Delaware’s motto should be changed from “The First State”, to the “Do over”, state. Meters, Bridges, etc, seem to need several attempts before they are set right.
