How the plate-recognition barrier works

How the plate-recognition barrier works

16 June 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. **Privacy** Number plates are used only for access and billing, per GDPR. See our privacy policy.
