The parking space problem has been a persistent issue in Bengaluru for several years. The parking space problem is worsening with time, and many people in Bengaluru own cars; they often fail to make prior parking arrangements, due to which people park their vehicles on the road, causing inconvenience to others.
“It’s advisable to arrange a Parking Space before buying A CAR.”
Environment Ngo points out that the bitter truth is Nowadays, Many houses have One or Multiple Cars; such people do not care about society/traffic or the environment (cutting trees for parking) and are only concerned about themselves. When there is a traffic jam due to roadside Car parking, such people blame the government or the traffic police department.
It is a typical parking issue that many commercial buildings and showrooms do not provide parking facilities to their customers, which leads to the customers parking their vehicles on the road. To address this problem, the government should prohibit the approval of commercial buildings that lack parking facilities and make it compulsory for all such buildings to have sufficient parking spaces.
Many commercial buildings are utilizing their “basement parking space” for commercial purposes.
Due to inadequate parking facilities, people are compelled to park their vehicles on the footpath.
The BBMP and traffic cops have not taken care of parking lots. Instead of making parking spaces available. In Bengaluru, 99% of the NO-PARKING signboards have been put up. The brunt of this has been at the expense of the public, such as no-parking fines.
Due to varying Paid Parking Charges in different areas, vehicles are often parked on the roadside. The government should establish a standardized and reasonable parking rate to encourage proper parking.
The Bangalore Traffic Police should install more PARKING Signboards. This will encourage people to use designated parking areas instead of parking in NO-PARKING zones.
Auto rickshaw drivers in Bengaluru can commonly be seen parking their rickshaws incorrectly; They park their rickshaws wherever they want. This causes a lot of trouble to others, and rickshaw drivers do not follow traffic rules. It has been seen that even the traffic police fail to control the auto-rickshaw drivers.
