That system exists too.
There parking stalls labelled as loading zones, 30 minute maximum, no charge.
That system works well but only because delivery trucks have tight schedules that really don't allow for much more than a half hour for a single delivery.
If the parking stalls were put on an honor system it would fail.
It's the penalty of a parking ticket that keeps it honest.
As it is now, parking enforcement is subsidized by the tickets it issues. If it were tasked with manually timing how long a car is in any one stall it would become manageable without adding additional personnel.
I'd rather see the parking meters than a more bloated gov't with less income to pay for the gloat.
