Parking schemes and management

The issue   

Unmanaged on-street parking can cause congestion and block pedestrians, cyclists and buses. It can also lead to vehicles circling streets looking for a parking place. 

The scheme   

Ways this scheme will affect car drivers include using technology to:  

• Manage parking dynamically 
• Allow for booking parking spaces 
• Charge different amounts for different road users and at different times 
• Discourage parking during peak times 

The outcome   

• Reduced obstruction of traffic 
• Improved access to local facilities 
• Improved air quality  
• Improved emergency service response times 
• Improved data to inform future transport schemes and policies
