If you intend to stay longer, the 30 minutes free parking will be forfeited when you pay for the time you need. You will need to pay the full price of parking. For example, if you want to stay for 1 hour, you will need to pay for the full hour of parking, it will not automatically deduct 30 minutes.

If you require more time, you can return to the parking meter and pay the regular fee to stay longer. However, you can only pay up to the maximum time signposted, minus the free time already used. For example, if you enter a 2P parking space, use the free parking and decide to come back after 30 minutes to pay for more time, you will only be able to pay for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
