THE REORGANIZATION OF PARKING POLICY IN CITIES

INVOLVES THE TOTAL CONCEPT OF PARKING CHARGES, PARK-AND-RIDE SYSTEMS, CAPACITY POLICY MEASURES AND PARKING PROVISION FOR A RESIDENT POPULATION. THE AIM OF PARKING POLICY CONSISTS IN THE TURNOVER OF SECTIONS OF THE INDIVIDUAL TRAFFIC, IN THE REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC LOOKING FOR PARKING SPACE, THE CLEARANCE OF STANDING TRAFFIC FROM THE STREETS' SURFACES AND IN THE PROVISION OF SUFFICIENT CAR PARKS FOR BUSINESS AND SHOPPING TRAFFIC. THE PARKING CHARGES SHOULD BE VARIED WITH REGARD TO TIME AND LOCATION, AND THERE SHOULD BE A CORRELATION WITH THE PRICES OF PRIVATELY OPERATED MULTI-STOREY PARKING GARAGES. IN ORDER TO INCLUDE THE SEPARATE PARKING AREAS OF FIRMS AND OFFICIALS, A PARKING SPACE TAX MAY BE INTRODUCED. PARKING TIME LIMITATIONS SHOULD BE RESTRICTED TO A MINIMUM, TO AREAS OF EXTREME BOTTLENECKS. POLICY WITH REGARD TO THE PROVISION OF PARKING SPACE FOR NEW BUILDINGS SHOULD BE ALTERED SO THAT FINANCE SHOULD ALSO BE AVAILABLE FOR PARKING SPACE PROVIDED AT SOME DISTANCE FROM THE BUILDING. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT PARKING SPACE IS RESERVED FOR THE RESIDENTS, THEY SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO A LEVY FOR THE RENTING OF PERMANENT CAR PARKING IN MULTI-STOREY PARKING GARAGES.
