Have parking spaces to shake?

Yesterday, the transportation department had submitted a proposal to improve the construction of a "one-car one-one-one-number" database for the parking berths of motor vehicles in this Municipality, and used (parking or renting) parking berths as one of the qualifications for applying for a minibus number. Experts said that this measure is equivalent to adding a "threshold" to the purchase of cars, but it is easy to implement false parking certificates, resale certificates and other phenomena, the relevant departments still need to be cautiously demonstrated.

Citizens: Parking Spaces Cannot Solve Parking Difficulty In August of this year, the Beijing Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference has already submitted a report recommending that the automobile control policy be changed from a single “control increment” to “incremental and dual control of inventory,” ie, through the establishment of a stock car. Withdrawal mechanism, the establishment of a policy of first registration fee collection of cars, and the gradual realization of "parking into place", the legal parking spaces as the basic premise of the purchase of cars and other methods to improve the car to maintain the threshold and reduce the growth rate of cars.

In fact, as early as 2004, Beijing had implemented this policy - in addition to Beijing residence registration, the need to provide parking spaces to prove. This system was re-introduced and naturally met the public's doubts. “For example, we have more than 800 parking spots in our community. However, the number of cars has already exceeded this number. The property is open to parking permits. In addition to the dedicated ground floor parking spaces, the grounds are on a first-come-first-served basis. I have to find a parking permit for the property. Dedicated parking spaces, can I calculate the parking permit?” says Mr. Liu, a citizen.

In addition, some members of the public also stated that "proof of parking spaces" does not solve the problem of parking, because Beijing has too many parking spaces. According to the survey data of the Transportation Bureau of the Municipal Transportation Commission, 40.1% of the city's cars have no fixed parking spaces and can only be parked on the side of the road or at the corners of the community. This presents a new problem, parking is a scarce resource, and a car is an abundant supply of goods. Linking the two will most likely force people to rush for parking spaces for investment purposes, exacerbate competition for scarce resources, and the price of parking spaces will soar. There may also be false parking certificates, resale certificates, and even real estate associated with parking spaces. The price will also have new speculation reasons, which is unfair to consumers.

Experts: How to ensure the parking space is "real and effective"

In this regard, relevant experts also have different opinions. Wang Limei, a transportation specialist and secretary general of the China Road Transport Association, said that the implementation of this policy must first of all make an inventory of the existing regular parking spaces. In addition, it must ensure fairness and reasonableness in the implementation process, that is, how to ensure that the “parking space certification” is effective. "In the end, which department should present this certificate? Is the property or government-related department? Who will supervise?" Wang Limei said that this must be made clear.

It is understood that the purchase of cars is required to show the "parking space certification" policy, Shanghai, Dalian, Chengdu and other cities are being discussed, is currently limited to "only intention, will become the future trend."

Wang Jiangyan, director of the U.S. Energy Foundation’s Yuheng Sustainable Transport Research Center, said that due to the excessive concentration of business districts and residential areas in Beijing, the infrastructure in these areas is seriously scarce, and fewer parking spaces are built. Therefore, the purchaser’s car shows “certificate of parking space”. Measures can effectively alleviate congestion in urban centers and relieve parking difficulties to some extent. “If you want to choose to live in the center of the city, you have to sacrifice. That is to give up driving by yourself, and to choose to travel by public transport. This is also true for some major cities abroad to ease traffic congestion.”

Xu Kangming, a senior consulting expert at the US 3E Transportation System Consulting Company, said that taking regular parking spaces as a basic precondition for buying cars is a measure to control the growth of small cars in some large cities abroad. From the perspective of Beijing, it is necessary to explore the feasibility of limiting the purchase of cars by parking spaces.

However, Xu Kangming also said that the implementation of this measure should be particularly prudent, to avoid the phenomenon of false parking certificate and reselling. “Before implementation, this measure requires a large number of data investigations and supporting policies and institutional studies. I personally think that it is unlikely to be implemented in the short term."

The Traffic Commission: The new standards for parking spaces in residential areas are being developed. It is understood that each car in developed countries is allocated an average of 1.3 parking spaces, while in Beijing before 1994, there was no supporting standard for the construction of parking facilities for motor vehicles in residential areas. The residential area, especially the residential areas within the East and West cities and within the Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road, did not take into account the issue of parking of motor vehicles. Now when the car enters the family, the debt owed by the parking facilities in the old district has become an irreparable problem.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Transportation Bureau of the Municipal Transportation Commission, according to the old standard after 1994, Beijing has a 1:0.3 parking space within the residential area and within the Third Ring Road, that is, only 10 parking spaces with 3 parking spaces. However, in the case of East and West cities, the number of vehicles owned by a single household has exceeded 0.8, and the gap is relatively large at a ratio of 0.3. Therefore, the new standard is currently being actively formulated by the planning department, and it is expected that the ratio will be increased to more than 1:0.8, that is, 10 households with 8 parking spaces. In addition, differentiated sub-regional standards will be formulated. Within the Second Ring and the Third Ring, several areas other than the Fifth Ring will be matched according to different circumstances. It is worth noting that the planning department of the new standard for the first time included the parking space in the security room. In this way, the newly built community is expected to achieve a one-car one-to-one matching standard, so that residents can have parking spaces.
