Speed limits are implemented rigorously and radar traps are frequent. Driving over the speed limit and other law infringements are severely punished (fines, licence withheld, vehicle seized). Speed cameras, speed traps and unmarked vehicles are used by the traffic police.

. There are many speed cameras and other traffic control devices in the Netherlands. The penalties for speeding, using your mobile phone while driving, driving under the influence of alcohol and driving through a red light can easily run up to a few hundred Euros.

Enforcement of parking regulations
Vehicles which are parked contrary to the regulations may be towed away and impounded, whether they are residents' cars or vehicles registered abroad. The owner is liable for the cost of impounding and for every 24 hours the vehicle is kept.
In Paris and some other large towns, illegally parked vehicles are immobilised by wheel clamps, even if the vehicles are registered abroad. The driver must go to the local police station and pay a fine for dangerous parking or for causing an obstruction, as well as a fine to have the vehicle released.

If your car is given a ticket ( papillon) and isn’t moved within an hour, it will be given a second ticket and after two hours a wheel clamp may be fitted or it may be towed way.
Paris has six car pounds ( fourrière) and in addition to a parking fine of between €35 and €135 you must also pay a fee to release your car from a pound (or to have a clamp removed), plus a daily storage charge.
