The Rise of On-Street Parking Management

What does off-street parking mean?

On-Street Parking Management spaces refer to the temporary parking positions set up by the public security traffic management department for motor vehicle parking by using urban roads, including motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, sidewalks and other accommodating parking spaces. Temporary parking will inevitably affect normal road counterparts, and the non-standard management of parking charges will lead to parking contradictions.

Problems and causes of on-street parking

The problems of on-street parking and their causes mainly include unbalanced use of parking facilities, chaotic management of on-street parking, irregular setting of on-street parking facilities, etc.

Unbalanced use of parking facilities. A reasonable urban static traffic pattern should be based on the auxiliary parking lot, supplemented by off-street and public parking lots, and supplemented by on-street parking. The unbalanced use of parking facilities is mainly reflected in the insufficient construction of parking facilities and the low utilization rate: the service radius of peripheral public parking lots is too large, and a large number of parking spaces are idle; the proportion of on-street parking spaces is too high and illegal parking is serious

On-street parking is poorly managed. The existence of a large number of illegal parking on the roadside is inherent in the driver’s concept of convenience, but the chaos of on-street parking management is precisely the root cause of this randomness. As far as the current situation is concerned, the main problems of on-street parking management are roadside parking management. The side parking management organization is chaotic; the parking fee is unreasonable, the parking regulations are not perfect, and the implementation is weak; the parking management means are backward, and other disadvantages
For example: Is there a formal invoice? Can I print the invoice in real-time? If no responsible person is found, who will compensate?
On-street parking facilities are not standardized. The backward setting of on-street parking facilities is not standardized, which is a common phenomenon in domestic on-street parking. The main manifestations are that the range of allowed parking is not clear; the parking signs and lines are not obvious and not matched; the signs and lines are not standardized and are not implemented in accordance with national standards。
