For your peace of mind, using paid car parks or privately owned car parks with gates is best. Try to avoid parking in unmarked spaces, and don't park on the street where there's a double yellow line. Single yellow lines mean you can't park there during certain hours, so avoid those spots if you don't know when it's safe. Instead, park in the metered bays and pay and display car parks around the town, so you know exactly how long you can stay there. Note that even if you pay for a certain amount of time, there may be maximum parking time in that area, and you can get a penalty if you exceed that time.
