The big 'STOP' button is meant to give users the option to stop at any time in the process. Normally such buttons are located next to a step but I want to give users the option to stop at any time. The day and hour bar tell when 'paid parking' is mandatory. Hi Karin,

Thanks for your comment. The big ‘STOP’ button is meant to give users the option to stop at any time in the process. Normally such buttons are located next to a step but I want to give users the option to stop at any time.

The day and hour bar tell when ‘paid parking’ is mandatory.

The icons are very descriptive but text is always better, in order to be sure that everybody understands. Overall good work. What I don't understand is what the top area is fore (with the big STOP). What are the day and hour bar telling?
