Reference examples for Charleston
Kiosk or meter screen showing time paid
In Charleston the screen has to show the expiry time, not just "thank you". Rate on file: ~$2/hour.
- Paid-until time fully readable, no glare
- Meter or space number in the same frame
- Shot straight on, close enough to read the smallest line
Paper receipt on the dash
City of Charleston Department of Traffic & Transportation reads the printed expiry first. Place it face up, then photograph it through the windshield.
- Expiry date and time visible
- Receipt lying flat, not curled
- Your car's interior in frame so it ties to the vehicle
App confirmation screen
Zone number, plate and session end time all in one screenshot. Meters here run Mon–Sat, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM.
- Zone or space number matches the sign at your bumper
- Plate on the confirmation matches your car
- Session end time later than when you left

Stella's tip
A photo only wins if the expiry time is readable. Get close, kill the glare, and keep Charleston's space number in the frame.
