Parking is not ugly Rome how to harness the parking problems
Europe is the cradle of automobile, Rome has a strong automotive culture ; Italy has Fiat the international giants, coupled with the "close" in Germany, the car can be more selective and price is not high. Therefore, Rome and most first-tier cities in China, has a huge amount of vehicle ownership. However, because many of the "antique", Rome cannot readily be dug underground car parks, parking seems to be a big challenge, Rome: how to solve the puzzle? take a look at the text/figure reporters! week Weili
The first move:
Most road sides allow parking
Smart (Gallery Forum) and similar to the Smart car sales up, they are very popular, perhaps the biggest reason good parking.
Rome is one of the "Millennium City", a building at the roadside are hundreds or even thousands of years of history, can't move, can't move, therefore, these buildings are not likely to have an underground car park. Vehicles are parked gone? answer is stopped to each side of the road. Do not think that the Roman road and like domestic frequently 10 lanes, they only poor two-way trunk four lanes of traffic, only a six-lane is bi-directional, nevertheless, remains in the extrusion of space, on each side of the road to the parking, the little road to the "exemptions".
In fact, apart from Rome, Europe's major cities have allowed parking, even though the name such as Champs, road side is full of cars. The advantage is that a lot of parking and road space utilization to the extreme, and appears to be substantially enhanced the ease of parking. The local people said that they rarely take the time to find parking or waiting for a parking space, in company downstairs along can usually find a parking space. "Rome was not large, if not to stop here, there is not to stop, it also let us how to drive?" Introduction to the local tour guide.
Second trick:
Stopping distance not exceeding 5 cm
Motorcycle is the Romans used to short-distance transport of transport, such as buy daily necessities.
In Rome, parking is not like domestic draw a square of wireframe, a box can only stop a car, but a car next to a bus stop, immediately after the front bumper behind the rear bumper, car and truck spacing between not more than 5 cm. The second day in Rome, I had the privilege to see their parking "feat" skilled self-evident, but the location is too small, light technical enough, "even touch with arch": touch after car vehicle, Arch, just out of a location. Therefore, the Roman road car front and rear bumpers are often "torn", but the owners are used to it. Furthermore, Smart and similar to the Smart car sales up, they are very popular, perhaps the biggest reason good parking, other models need to be straight out of position, it can stop go sideways, because it's bus and don't car chekuan consistent, many small spaces and only they are able to stop in.
Third-stroke:
The longer the higher fees
In Europe, the parking is not immutable; Switzerland Zurich street stop, half an hour is 0.5 Switzerland franc, 1 hour but rose to 2 Switzerland franc, 2-hour charge is up to 5 Switzerland francs (approximately equal to 1 Switzerland franc 6 Yuan) ― the longer the time stops, each half hour charging a higher price. Therefore, in Zurich, often you can see the "moving a car" they use the noon break the car from roadside moved to empty out the location of the parking lot, because of the high-street parking is not easy to bear.
The longer the charging higher and higher. The biggest advantage is that both parking and convenient at the same time, ensure the smooth flow of road, but also to keep the parking "flow" for a short time parking for car owners to find parking space in the first instance. Many cities even allows parking, charges are fixed, the first hour, $ 4, the eight-hour charge is $ 4, the apparent lack of "deterrent force", many vehicles "PA" is 10 hours.
The first four strokes and take care of:
Encourage car, motorcycle
Roman roads are narrow, roadside full vehicle.
Rome is full of street car and motorcycle. Do not think that the motorcycle cheap, a somewhat decent motorcycles are fast catching up with the price of the car; can also do not think that the motorcycle, motorcycle everywhere rampant in Rome, like must be with the vehicle, such as compliance with traffic rules, such as traffic lights to give way to pedestrians, parking, not speeding. Of course, motorcycle and automobile also has the same rights, for example, you can speed on our roads.
Car and motorcycle most easy to find parking spaces, in Rome and traveling, you will find many alley, all full of car or motorcycle, local residents home generally has a big car, a car and a motorcycle. The cart is the B-class cars in China or MPV to weekend trips over long distances; the car was used to commute to work; but the more motorcycles are used for short-distance transport, such as buy daily necessities.
These four instruments seems simple, but in fact is the "parking" proven methods, for reference. Go to alone, the construction of a car parking building expansion is fundamentally solve the "parking" difficulty of this challenge. Many cities, the annual increase in the number of parking spaces is far behind in the development of the car, but most buildings pop "selling parking spaces" that allows limited parking resources are stretched. Rome proven, without affecting traffic, the road will always be the biggest, is also the most convenient "car park". Allows most road side parking fee believed, the majority of owners are willing to accept, at least every day now and find parking sweat stronger.
