Measure 25
Short Term Parking Scheme
13.6.2012

Usti nad Labem Municipality
Measure 25
Background and Objectives
• Increasing number of vehicles in the city
• Critical parking conditions, primarily in the citycentre and in densely build-up residential areas
• New parking strategy for the city is required
• Objectives:
Improve conditions for parking in the city with regard to future development
Reduce negative impacts of individual transport and improve living environment in the city
Measure 25
Measure overview
Tasks
• 11.3.3 Parking Strategy Research– Finished in M18
– RTD task
– Analysis of current conditions of parking in the city and future development
• 3.7 Short Term Parking scheme
– Finished in M40
– DEMO task
– Feasibility of a proposal for a parking scheme in the city centre and in residential areas
Measure 25
Task 11.3.3
Parking strategy research
• General background –current stateof traffic and parking conditions inthe city
• Analysis of the existing parking policyin Ústí nad Labem – for the city centreand for residential areas
• Overview of tools suitable for parking management
• Baseline field survey
• Identification of problems
• Proposal for appropriate solutions
• Measure generalised to allow application in other areas in the city
Measure 25
Baseline Survey
• Assessing various criteria of parking supply – number of parked vehicles
– type of parking place (parking lanes, strips, bays, garages or other)
– capacity of parking space (field detected or calculated from the official data of the city road network according to dimensional dispositions)
– photo documentation
– characteristic of parking and typical issues
• Conducted on different week-days and at different times during May – June 2009
• Utilising data from previous surveys in the cityand from official records
• Parking demand caclulated from the numberof buildings and character of the communemultiplied by the motorisation index
• Parking deficit caclulated – difference betweensupply and demand

Identification of problems
• Major problems:
– serious deficit in the number of available parking places
– cars parked everywhere, on places inappropriate for parking
• Frequently occurring issues:
– parked vehicles creating road bottlenecks
– parking in the driving lane of the street
– disregard of road signs
– longitudinal parking disregarding insufficient width of the road
– parking within crossroads causing traffic risks
– commercial vehicles parked in the residential area
– insufficient space disables transit of larger vehicles, such as fire trucks, garbage trucks and ambulance

Typical parking issues – insufficient capacity

Measure 25
Proposed solutions
• Regulation of existing legal parking spaces
– Indication of parking lanes and parking bays on urban road
– Indication of areas with forbidden parking by both road marking and signing, especially near crossroads
– Modification of selected streets to one-way roads to allow longitudinal parking on one side or on both sides.
• Implementation of new parking places
• Development of public garages
• Police enforcement of traffic laws and monitoring
• Implementation of paid parking zones
Measure 25
Task 3.7 – New parking scheme
• Transport policy
– Principles of parking management, parking policy and its effectiveness
– Parking fees
– Influencing behaviour of drivers
– Specifics of the city centre
– Specifics of residential areas
• Instruments suitable for parking restrictions
– Reducing transit traffic, encouraging greater take-up of PT, P&R facilities, paid parking
• Best practice from other cities
• Parking scheme solutions
– Long-term and short-term parking
Measure 25
Results in the city centre
• situation in the city centre analysed by the field survey
• occupancy as parking demand for parking places cannot be reliably determined - practically all parking places permanently occupied, many vehicles park illegally, numerous drivers are not able to park
• Parking demand was derived from the methodology based on the Czech standard (ČSN 736110 – Designing local roads) and on general technical requirements for construction in the capital city
• overall parking deficit calculated
• proposed solutions for the new parking scheme: implementation of paid parking zones and establishing P&G premises on the perimeter of the city centre
• after-data calculated through the transport model
Measure 25
Results in residential areas
• Typical residential area Dobětice surveyed
• total number of legal parking places is 1,649, which covers 76% of the parking demand, significant lack of parking spots.
• The total number of parking places available after implementing measures for parking improvements will be 2,362, which covers the demand for parking by 108.9%
• overall improvement of the parking status is 32.9%
• Not sufficient for future development of motorisation prognosed by the Directorate of Roads and Highways of the CR (2%/year)
• parking reserve exhausted within four years
• more complex long-term solution requires significant investments into collective garages and implementation of charged parking on public roads.

Conclusion
• The parking scheme issue is quite extensive
• Numerous existing parking methods but only few are suitable for the situation in Usti nad Labem
• Suitable parking strategy must fulffil compromis between the parking scheme, city traffic, public transportation and public opinion.
• It involves technical solution and conveying information to the public - organising intensive advertising information campaign
• Requires cooperation with the Police of the Czech Republic and the Municipal Police (control)
• It is not possible to cover the present and future parking demand entirely, but the parking deficit can be at least minimised.
Measure 25
Support
Parking information leaflets
• overview of the existing parking scheme and parking possibilities
• basic information about payment methods and rates
• lucid map displaying the parking facilities
• for visitors, commuters and residents
Sample places for delivery vehicles
• 6 parking places implemented in the city centre
• designated only for vehicles supplying local shops
• identified by vertical and horizontal markings
• shopkeepers instructed on the regulations
• parking discs distributed among suppliers as a support.
Measure 25
Evaluation
Final results in progress
Gathering after data from the transport model
Indicators:
• Capacity reserve
– traffic survey
– number of spaces according to valid legislation
– occupancy -> demand for parking
• Perception of accessibility
– determined by expert estimation based on demand for parking (subjective opinions of drivers not decisive)
• Modal split
– constant in residential area
– in the centre – determination by transport model / expert estimation
– Proposal of P&G – the model does not enable calculation of pedestrian flaws
