A parking lot in Taichung’s Nantun District promises fees of only NT$10 for a half hour—the only catch is you may not be able to leave. Just outside the exit there are two roadside parking spaces, trapping drivers inside the lot. The city’s Parking Management Office found that the owner never got the proper permit and issued a fine.

- It says it’s NT$10 for a half hour.
I thought, dang, that’s lucky.
Then after I parked...
Look at this. You can’t get out.

This driver returned to the parking lot to get his car, only to find he couldn’t leave.

- Can I even get out?
What am I supposed to do?

Just outside are two parking spaces, both occupied by cars. All he could do was stand there, laughing in frustration.

- Heh heh.
How do I get out! How do I get out!
There’s no way.

This bizarre parking lot is on Fengwei Road in Taichung’s Nantun District. With 32 spaces and a rate of only NT$10 per half hour, it seems like a steal, but it’s actually a trap lying in wait. Once you park, you might not be able to leave.

Commenting on car park
Maybe the owner didn’t plan it well. You really have to check before you park.

Parked there before
One time I parked there before work. When I got back, I was like, “Oh my god. When did this become a parking spot?” We really had no way to get the car out.

Did the owner really not notice the design flaw? Turns out that they never applied for a permit, so it was operating illegally. The Taichung Parking Management Office issued the owner a fine and said it would help them get the proper paperwork, as well as erase the problematic parking spots to ensure that no more drivers fall into this parking trap.
