ON PUBLIC PARKING

-

On-street parking for the first hour would be priced at least twice as much as off-street parking

On-street parking fee shall increase exponentia­lly with every hour to discourage long duration of on-street parking Towing charges for violation of no-parking or overstay in authorised parking would range from ~200 to ~2,000, depending on type of vehicle

On-street parking shall not be allowed at least upto 25 metre from intersecti­ons on each arm of road

Dynamic pricing mechanisms such as peak and non-peak fees and exponentia­l increase per hour of use would be used to moderate parking demand No surface parking of more than one hour shall be allowed within 500 metres of a multilevel / stack parking

In case on-street parking has to be provided within a 500-metre zone of a multi-level facility, then it will be priced at least three times more than offstreet parking rates

In case off-site facility is more than 200 metres away, adequate non-polluting shuttle service has to be provided to people, charges of which will be subsumed in parking charges Long term off-street parking space for shopkeeper­s, metro users, residents, etc, could be priced though monthly passes or have token systems. They should park in multi-level parking spaces only

Civic agencies should use technology like Radio Frequency Identifica­tion (RFID) tags, on-street parking metres, automated boom barriers etc MCDS will identify parking spaces for transport vehicles during night time and levy charges
