How Do Countries Around The World Solve The Parking Problem
News Feb 05,2026 View: 41

In the context of an increasingly scarce global resource, energy conservation and emission reduction are a major task for every country, and countries all over the world have entered an era of efficient use and more rational planning of resources. Using technology to improve public services is the goal of many countries in the world. Parking is difficult, and the parking order is not well managed. These problems actually exist in every country, whether it is the parking application in Singapore to help car owners pay for their mobile phones, or the parking robot valet parking service in France. We are working hard to make "parking" more regular.

Of course, some countries also have some special parking rules due to their own conditions. For example, Thailand does not need to pull the handbrake when parking, and the United States reserves the most convenient parking spaces for the disabled, making parking even more versatile.

There are coups to control "chaotic parking"

> Japan: After rampant parking has proliferated, the "Parking on the roadside in the central area is limited to one hour".
In Tokyo, government agencies and large companies hardly prepare parking spaces for employees. If employees want to drive to work, they need to pay for their own parking fees. Usually, the parking fee for on-street parking spaces or building parking lots is 800 to 1,600 yen per hour. In some central areas, on-street parking spaces are limited to one hour. No amount of money can be paid for overtime, otherwise a 15,000 sheet will be posted. A ticket for Japanese yen.

> Singapore: "Parking APP" can help find parking spaces and pay car fees
In 2017, Singapore launched a parking app to help people find parking spaces and pay parking fees. This APP is easy to operate. Just enter your personal information and credit card number, and you can control parking-related information on your phone, so you don’t have to worry about getting a ticket for parking overtime. "Such mobile applications should be launched five years or even ten years earlier. It's so convenient!" Singaporean netizens commented on the Internet.

> New Zealand: Self-payment of parking fees by parking meters
Most of the parking spaces on the roadside in New Zealand are free; however, the commercial area uses a meter to pay. Usually, parking has a free period of about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you need to buy a parking ticket on a meter, that is, an electronic chronograph, and place the ticket in front of the windshield so that the administrator can see the credentials. Managers do not check around the clock, but randomly check the tires from time to time. They will mark the time on the tires with chalk. New Zealand's parking meters are very common. This coin-operated charging method is to remind car owners that they should have a sense of time, so as to reduce the time and space occupied by motor vehicles on downtown roads.

> Russia: Plans to increase private parking spaces
In order to solve the parking problem, the Russian government first promoted "encourage small-displacement cars and add parking lots." Because there are not many parking lots in Moscow, the city center can only meet 20% of the demand, and the city's parking spaces meet 36% of the demand.
In response, the Moscow City Government subsequently added 80,000 parking spaces and plans to build multiple parking lots by 2020, which can accommodate 2.5 million private cars.
