Who is liable when someone parks in a red zone?

Answer

What happened in that red zone?

Answer

The driver (or owner) is liable for a fine (and possibly impound) for parking in a red zone. Liability for anything else might depend upon what the "red zone" is intended to protect (under local law: fire lane, bus stop, intersection access, passenger drop-off; it varies). However, contrary to popular belief, crashing your car into someone illegally parked in a "red zone" is not generally the "fault" of the parked car, or even the driver who left it there (who may actually have a valid excuse for doing so).
