  • | tienphong, dtinews.vn | April 17, 2017 02:03 PM
The Hanoi Department of Transport said that they would give permits to open 300 parking lots on the streets as the current parking facilities only meet up to 10% of the demand.


  

300 new parking lots will be opened

90-92% of the vehicles are kept at parking lots of apartment buildings or shopping centres.

In the department's traffic management report since early 2017, Hanoi has over 720 parking places that cover 145,000 square metres on the streets and pavements, on the wide medians and under the flyovers. 74 of them are unregistered or saw their licenses expire. In addition, there are 174 parking spots placed inside schools.

The department has carried out various measures including odd-even days parking on Da Tuong and Nguyen Gia Thieu streets, using new technology in public parking places and automatic toll collecting system on Tran Hung Dao and Ly Thuong Kiet streets.

In the coming time, they will give licenses to over 300 parking lots on the street that have met all requirements. The odd-even day parking method will also be applied on other streets this year.
