How the plate-recognition barrier works
05 September 2026 · 1 min read
At CityPark you don't need a ticket or access card. Here's why:
Automatic recognition (ANPR)
A camera at the barrier reads the number plate and matches it against active bookings. If valid, the barrier lifts within seconds.
Why it's better
- No ticket queues
- No lost cards
- Fast entry and exit
If your plate isn't read
Rarely (dirty plate, wrong angle) the system fails to read. Press the assistance button at the barrier — the operator checks your booking and lets you in.
