They Told You to Park at Place Versailles. Then They Ticketed You For It.

SIIIOCULI | March 2026

这已经不再是单纯的停车罚单故事。事情在地点被确认的那一刻起就已经超出了普通的范畴。一名工人在蒙特利尔东区的黎明时分把车停在了Place Versailles。

乘坐Radisson地铁站。去市中心上班。下午四点回到公司时，发现挡风玻璃上贴着一张城市停车罚单。

给出的理由：ayant stationné dans un stationnement privé。即在私人停车场停车。开具罚单的机构：Agence de mobilité durable。

蒙特利尔市。地点：Place Versailles。紧邻Radisson地铁站。

同一个Place Versailles——魁北克政府正式指定为Lafontaine隧道整体交通缓解策略的核心枢纽。 同一个Radisson地铁站——交通部、STM、RTL、Exo以及所有参与隧道危机管理的政府层级，投入了数百万美元、多年新闻稿以及完整的公共交通基础设施建设，旨在引导司机前往此处。 同一个地点。

完全相同的地点。

政府到底说了什么

这不是解读，也不是揣测，而是多年来各机构在官方沟通中明确记载的政策。

魁北克交通部实施了“停车换乘”方案，安排巴士直接把司机送到蒙特利尔东区的Radisson地铁站，以此作为Lafontaine隧道封闭的官方缓解措施。CBC News的穿梭巴士在蒙特利尔东区和南岸之间往返，专门在Radisson地铁站——即Place Versailles购物中心旁——停靠。CBC News报道，魁北克政府的官方缓解页面指引通勤者使用Radisson终点站——并提供从南岸直达该地点的免费穿梭巴士——并明确鼓励司机改变通勤习惯，使用公共交通以缓解隧道附近的交通压力。

Gouvernement du Québec 交通部鼓励用户改变通勤习惯，使用公共交通以缓解隧道附近的交通。面向南岸“停车换乘”场所和蒙特利尔Radisson终点站的穿梭巴士被免费提供三年，专门用于激励这种行为。Gouv 三年免费巴士。

政府新闻发布会。交通部发言人在Radio‑Canada上呼吁每日12万名司机把车留在家里，乘坐前往Radisson的公共交通。市长Valérie Plante与交通部长会谈，讨论如何让更多司机离开私家车。

商会会长建议彻底禁止单独司机使用隧道，以迫使公众实现政府一直在呼吁的行为转变。蒙特利尔各级政府的全部制度力量都在传递同一个信息：多年投入巨额公共资金，反复强调——在Place Versailles附近停车，乘坐Radisson地铁。

这就是计划。随后，Agence de mobilité durable的执法人员来到Place Versailles，对遵循该计划的司机开出了罚单。

背叛的几何学

Radisson站紧邻Place Versailles购物中心。它是大都会巴士终点站，南岸、Laval以及周边地区的穿梭线路在此汇聚——并且自2021年12月起作为Lafontaine隧道缓解措施的一部分被专门扩建。Wikipedia 这并不是一位偶然闯入私人领地的司机。

这也不是误读标识或停在明显禁停区的司机。此人正是按照多年政府宣传的指示——在地铁站附近停车，乘坐公共交通，减轻拥堵，成为解决方案的一部分——在政府花费数百万标记为“应停放地点”的位置停车。他在凌晨5点把车停在那里。

那是停车场还有数百个空位的时段。那是购物中心所有店铺尚未营业的时段。那是唯一合乎逻辑的原因——正是他来此的目的：把车停下，乘坐公共交通进入市区。

罚单在上午8点到10点之间出现。当时他已经在市中心工作。

他已经把所有该做的事都做对了。

同一政府的两只手臂，却零沟通。此事揭露的并非单纯的虚伪。

虚伪意味着明知正确却仍然错误行事。而这里发生的更糟——是制度性的脱节。

魁北克交通部多年围绕Radisson和Place Versailles建设公共交通设施，专门吸引“停车换乘”通勤者。蒙特利尔市长的政治生涯建立在可持续出行和让司机下车的口号上。Agence de mobilité durable——其名称直译为“可持续出行机构”——却派执法官员对一名在政府指定的“停车换乘”枢纽停车并乘坐地铁的男子开罚单。

这些机构并非敌对，也不是不同的政府。它们在同一座城市、同一省级框架下运作，理论上服务于同一批居民。

然而执法部门与交通政策部门之间根本没有任何沟通、没有任何认知，也没有考虑到同一政府多年公开推广的政策。左手根本不知道右手在干什么。而为这段沟通缺口买单的，正是那位下午四点回家，看到挡风玻璃上罚单的工人。

收入逻辑曝光

There is only one explanation for how this happens in a functioning institutional system: the enforcement apparatus is not designed around policy goals. It is designed around revenue targets. Two cameras near the Lafontaine Tunnel on Highway 25 issued 40,499 tickets in 2025, generating $13.57 million for the city.

MTL Blog The tunnel disruption did not just create a transit crisis — it created a revenue opportunity. More drivers in more unusual places, more congestion, more desperate parking decisions, more enforcement actions, more fines. The same infrastructure failure that forced drivers to change their behavior also created the conditions for ticketing them for changing it.

Place Versailles sits directly in that geography. A large, busy, highly visible commercial lot next to a major metro and bus terminal, packed every morning with cars belonging to people who drove partway and transited the rest. For an enforcement officer working a morning shift, it is an obvious target.

Dozens of cars. No meters to check. No obvious paid parking to verify.

Just vehicles sitting in a commercial lot that the city can classify as private and write a ticket against — knowing that most people will simply pay rather than navigate the contest process. The policy said: park here, take the metro. The enforcement system said: that will be $90 please.

Both are products of the same city. Only one of them is honest about what it is.

What Every Commuter Near Radisson Needs to Know

If you have been parking at Place Versailles or the surrounding commercial lots near Radisson station to take the metro — because the government told you to, because it was free, because it made sense, because you were trying to avoid adding to the tunnel congestion that has paralyzed the east end of this city for years — you need to know that this ticket exists. You need to know that the Agence de mobilité durable does not coordinate its enforcement activity with the Transport Ministry’s mitigation strategy. You need to know that parking in the exact location two levels of government directed you toward does not protect you from a municipal fine.

You need to know that the implicit contract between the commuter and the city — do your part and the city will do its part — is not enforceable. It never was. If you receive this ticket, contest it within 30 days.

Enter a not-guilty plea online or in person. The argument is straightforward and documented: the Quebec government itself designated this area as the primary transit hub for Lafontaine tunnel mitigation, spent public money building infrastructure to bring drivers here, and issued official communications directing commuters to park near Radisson and take the metro for years. Ville de Montréal Print those government communications.

Bring them to court. Make the city explain how its enforcement officer ticketed someone at the government’s own designated park-and-ride location for parking at the government’s own designated park-and-ride location. Put that on the record.

The Sentence That Ends This

The Quebec government built a transit hub at Place Versailles. Spent millions directing drivers to it. Called it sustainable mobility.

Put the mayor’s face on the campaign. Made the buses free. Held press conferences about behavioral change and reducing congestion and building the green city of the future.

Then sent an officer to ticket the man who believed them. If you want to understand in one story what is wrong with how Montreal and Quebec govern themselves — not the deficit numbers, not the cartel trains, not the credit downgrade, not the hockey joke — just this: A worker woke up at 5 in the morning and did exactly what his government asked him to do. And the same government fined him for it.

That is not a parking ticket. That is a confession.
