As the city struggles to deal with its increasing choice of vehicles, theUrban Development Department (UDD) of Karnataka is mulling a parking coverage similar to what’s being adopted within the nationwide capital. A gathering on this is to be hung on May 18 between the UDD, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT ), and the traffic police.
The UDD has proposed to make use of ideas from the draft laws of the ‘Delhi Maintenance and Management of Parking Rules, 2017’, editing them to best possible suit Bengaluru’s unique circumstances. Importantly, the parking coverage appears to be like to enforce restrictions on street parking, and introduce fees.
In his letter to the BBMP, DULT andBengaluru Traffic Police , Mahendra Jain, Additional Chief Secretary to Government, UDD mentioned: “The draft seeks to prioritise short-duration parking and enforce restrictions on long-duration parking (including on-street parking) and prohibit parking on street a minimum of up to 50 metres from road intersections. A traffic tracking system via an Apex Committee could also be proposed, along with parking in puts like cinema halls, hospitals, department shops, and many others.”
What Delhi’s coverage says
The Delhi Maintenance and Management of Parking Rules, 2017 tackles more than a few issues over 17 points. These come with on-street, off-street and multi-level automobile parking; in a single day parking of delivery vehicles; requirement of parking evidence for delivery vehicles; parking at airport, railway andMetro stations; parking in residential areas; penalty and towing fees; charging facility for electric vehicles and utilisation of parking earnings.
About on-street parking, it says that “the parking lot equipped throughout the constructions/building complexes… should be absolutely utilised before allowing any on-street parking.”
It also says that the “design shall minimize conflict between parking, strolling and cycling. Pick up and drop amenities will be prioritized over the parking amenities”.
“On-street parking shall not be allowed a minimum of up to 50 m from the intersections on every arm of road. The parking will be equipped at a reasonable protected distance from the pedestrian crossings and gates of fireplace stations, electric substations and hospitals,” it says. The draft emphases that short-duration parking should get priority over lengthy duration, on-street parking.
In residential areas
The space parking plan made by way of civic businesses would include, in their scope, parking preparations inside residential areas. The plan inside such areas will be made in session with the citizens or citizens’ welfare associations.
Points made within the draft:
Parking shall be allowed in demarcated areas on public streets and open surfaces in residential areas against parking fees to be made up our minds by way of civic businesses on the foundation of Base Parking Fee. Civic businesses should consult the RWAs about parking fees and the mode of control of parking in residential areas including outsourcing of assortment parking fees.
In case of residential constructions, the place stilt parking has been constructed… and yet citizens park their vehicles on public streets, the parking fees will be twice the traditional fees.
Owners of vacant plots in residential colonies will have to be permitted to be used of those plots as parking puts.
No parking on footpaths

It also means that the local civic frame, along with DULT andBengaluru Traffic Police, shape an Apex Monitoring Committee headed by way of Chief Secretary of Government of Karnataka, to study the implementation and compliance.
UDD’s Mahendra Jain informed BM: “It is crucial to have a rational parking coverage, both for on-street parking and off-street to meet the target of comfort for general public and to ensure free motion of traffic. Local frame will have to get affordable returns from the parking coverage to pay for the funding in parking infrastructure.”
“It is with this in view that we are taking into consideration to have medical parking coverage for the city. Long-duration parking shall be positioned most commonly in off-street amenities or in purely residential areas. On-street parking will handiest be authorised in designated areas away from intersections. Non-motorised vehicles will get priority over motorised. Transport vehicles can handiest be parked in designated areas. Charging amenities for electric vehicles shall be integral part of parking coverage. Illegal parking shall be strictly handled. Transparent, environment friendly and smart parking control systems shall be carried out on PPP mode,” he mentioned.
