PARKING SHORTAGES IN MELBOURNE


THE HERALD SUN
LETTERS

CAR PARKING shortages have one main cause, single-occupant cars.

To  ease  the  problem  government  and  councils  must encourage more
efficient, space-saving transport, especially in business districts.

Motorcycles,  scooters  and bicycles use far less space than a car. If
five lone  drivers  ride  to work at least four car bays are available
for people who really need to use their cars.

Road  authorities  can encourage two-wheel transport by lowering costs
for  riders,  providing  more  centre-of-the-road  and off-street bike
parking,  encouraging traffic filtering and permitting motorcycles and
scooters to use bus lanes.

Simple logic.

  1. Well this reports finally help me for correct analysis about shortage of parking in Melbourne. But we face this problems specially on weekends, cause everyone ready for shopping on weekend & parking space not afford a huge volume of cars at same time.

    1. There are several ways to reduce the number of single-occupant, p-rivate cars on our roads. Making taxis, chauffeur and hire cars more accessible/availble will certainly help. Public transport, bicycles and motorcycles& scooters will help too.
