The roads in the central area are divided into Class AB tolls

"The parking fee price will be used as an adjustment lever. The roads in the central area will be divided into two categories, A and B, and differential toll management on road sections will be implemented to improve Utilization of on-street parking spaces and reduction of traffic congestion," Zeng Xiaoming, director of the Road and Traffic Engineering Design Institute of Foshan University of Science and Technology, who participated in the preparation of the plan, said at a press briefing held yesterday.

The reporter saw that 18 roads, including Tongji Road, Gongzheng Road, and Tonghua Road, are designated as Class A road sections. These roads are mostly distributed in the Foshan Avenue, Jihua Road, and Wenhua Road areas. . Nanzhuang Town is outside the scope of this planning.

On Class A road sections, parking charges are free for the first 15 minutes during the day, and 5 yuan per hour thereafter. Charges are calculated cumulatively based on the number of parking hours, with a maximum of no more than 40 yuan for the whole day (monthly card 400 yuan); at night After 9 o'clock, the parking fee is 8 yuan per time (monthly pass is 200 yuan).

Road sections other than Class A areas are set as Class B road sections. Parking is free for the first 15 minutes during the day, 5 yuan per time (monthly card 250 yuan), and parking after 9 pm is 8 yuan per time (monthly). card 200 yuan). At the same time, plans A and B also have another plan priced every half hour.

Compared with the previous on-street daytime parking rates of 4 yuan per time and monthly subscription of 120 yuan, is the pricing standard in the "Plan" increased too much? Zeng Xiaoming compared this standard with cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Dongguan. Comparison. He said that the 18 Class A road sections are all located in the central business district, and are usually roads with tight parking spaces. This is done to improve the utilization rate of parking spaces and speed up the turnover of parking spaces.

It should be pointed out that this standard does not apply to residential and public parking lots. The planning of residential and public parking lots is currently inviting bids.

"Parking spaces should be designated as much as possible along the roadside"

The layout of on-street parking spaces in Chancheng District is mainly divided into roadside parking spaces and roadside parking spaces. The plan shows that the district plans to add 4,466 on-street parking spaces this year, and by 2012, the planned number of new parking spaces will be 5,906.

“Coupled with the 3,700 currently in operation, this means that there will be nearly 10,000 on-street parking spaces in the near future. With scientific parking management methods, it can basically meet the growing demand for parking. Zeng Xiaoming said. At present, the number of cars in Chancheng District has reached 140,000.

Which road sections will the increased parking spaces mainly be located on? "Any roadside parking spaces that can be designated will be designated as parking spaces as much as possible. Many roads will plan roadside and roadside parking spaces in the near and long term. ”

Add 11 limited-time parking sections

The parking peak around some residential areas represented by Lvjing Road occurs from 7 pm to 7 am the next morning. There are insufficient parking spaces in the district, and there is a huge demand for overnight parking.

Netizens discussed the new parking fee standard, and professionals explained:

The price increase is to encourage people to choose public parking* **Traffic

"Bibo" question

——"It is necessary to increase parking charges.

But if the sidewalk is also designated as a parking space, then should pedestrians compete with cars on the motorway?"

——"I am opposed to this approach. When parking on the sidewalk, where should pedestrians go? ”

——“How are the arrangements for pedestrians? Have you ever thought about the safety hazards in the middle? After all, there are many elderly people and children in Foshan! Aren’t we promoting green transportation now? How are the arrangements for cyclists? ”

——“Where did the money go after raising prices and fees?”

In this newspaper’s “Two Sessions” (including Southern News Network, China Mobile 139 lobbyists , Sina Weibo), the new charging standards and roadside parking spaces have caused heated discussions. Zeng Xiaoming, head of the Chancheng District Public Transport Company and director of the Road and Traffic Engineering Design Institute of the Buddhist Academy of Sciences, said: The plan aims to guide people to choose between private cars and public transportation.

Should motor vehicles be parked on the sidewalk?

Q: Why should we "mark" on the sidewalk? "Grid" to increase parking spaces?

Answer: It is actually a misunderstanding among citizens that "grids" are drawn on the sidewalk. In fact, the part higher than the curb of motor vehicles is called the roadside strip, and the roadside strip It is not just a sidewalk, but is composed of a facility belt and a sidewalk.

Some people park their cars on the roadside belt, thinking that there is no charge for parking on the roadside belt, which causes the roadside to be on one side. The parking spaces are vacant, and there are random parking on the sidewalk. Now we have to include the parking on the roadside.

Q: Should the sidewalks with vacant spaces be "gridded"? It will affect pedestrian traffic and is easy. How to solve the problem of damaged sidewalks?

Answer: Not all spaces are marked with grids. The arrangement of on-street parking must deal with the relationship between non-motorized vehicles and pedestrian traffic. There are already some. The sidewalk pavement is damaged by motor vehicles, so it is recommended to reconstruct some road sections with parking spaces on the roadside, lower the height of curbs at the entrance and exit of the sidewalk, and set up gentle slopes to facilitate vehicle entry and exit in the future.

Chancheng District municipal roads. In the construction and renovation, the roadside structural layer should consider the needs of parking vehicles, and improve parking space marking lines and signboards.

Why is the price increase so large?

Question. : In Guangzhou’s first to third categories of areas, the fares are 5 yuan, 4 yuan, and 2 yuan respectively for every half hour within 15 minutes, 4 yuan for within 30 minutes, 15 yuan for within 60 minutes, and 10 yuan for every half hour for more than one hour. Why should Foshan’s on-street parking charging standards be compared with those of first-tier cities such as Guangzhou and Shanghai?

Answer: In terms of parking demand management, if Foshan is positioned as a second-tier city, I feel that charging is not enough Compared with Guangzhou and Shanghai, this positioning is too general.

Each city has its own characteristics and should be considered in conjunction with the characteristics of Foshan. As the first city in the Guangzhou-Foshan metropolitan area, Guangzhou is the first city to be affected. The Foshan subway is about to open, and the housing price in Foshan is already nearly 10,000 yuan. The economic and social level is close to that of Foshan, and the car density and per capita ownership of Foshan are almost higher than those of Guangzhou.

From a planning perspective, ours is. Thinking must seek a balance. Under the principle of "ownership and moderate use" of private cars, formulating parking demand management policies will prompt citizens to choose between public transportation and private cars.

Question: From the previous 4 yuan each time, to now the first 15 minutes are free, and then every full hour is charged 5 yuan; from the previous monthly subscription of 150 yuan to the current standard, the increase has been huge, so Can the range achieve the purpose of guidance and diversion?

Answer: The previous monthly monthly fee for roadside parking was 120 yuan during the day and 150 yuan at night. This was set by the Yingbao Parking Company at the time, and This standard was adopted in 2005, five years ago now. When the Chancheng District Public Transport Company took over, it considered that it was still in the transition period and retained that standard.

Now these 18 Class A road sections are all located in the central business district. They are all roads with tight parking spaces. The purpose of this is not to make money, but to improve the utilization rate of parking spaces and speed up the parking space. Turnover of parking spaces.

Of course, by raising fees, it is impossible to achieve one-step management of cars. It can be said that both the construction of bicycle lanes and the public transportation system need to be improved. Now we take the first step and formulate parking demand management policies and use charging price levers to adjust them.
