Disclosed is a system and method for alerting users on how to avoid receiving parking violation citations. A location determining apparatus identifies a location of a user. A database stores historical parking violation citations, real-time crowdsourced parking violation citations, and other parking violation related information with a verification algorithm and an inference algorithm. Parking intent is determined by a user's location and speed and once the determination is made, the database is polled to identify whether potential parking violations exist, where an alert will be sent. A forum functionality allows information exchange and idea sharing about parking violation citations and avoidance thereof. Crowdsourced parking violation related data is gathered using an incentive method with rewards and a parking ticket payment module collects parking violation-related information for the database. Historical weather data is used to predict the impact on current parking situations.
