What can happen if stickers are not properly affixed on vehicles?

If stickers are not properly affixed on vehicles, the primary consequence is that the vehicle may be ticketed or towed. Properly affixing parking permits or enforcement stickers is crucial for ensuring compliance with parking regulations. If the stickers are not displayed correctly, it can create ambiguity regarding the vehicle's authorization to park in designated areas, leading enforcement officers to assume that the vehicle is improperly parked. This assumption can result in the issuance of a ticket or even towing, especially in stricter enforcement areas where regulations are diligently monitored.

In contrast, while official notifications might be part of the parking enforcement process, they typically pertain to tickets or other violations. Disciplinary actions against enforcement officers are generally mandated by rules related to the enforcement process and would not directly relate to sticker placement. Finally, stickers, when used for parking permits, do not contribute to increasing a vehicle's value; they serve practical regulatory functions rather than enhancing the vehicle's market appeal.
