North Bengaluru to Implement Pay-and-Park System on Nine Key Roads
In a significant move to streamline urban traffic and parking management, authorities have announced that nine roads in North Bengaluru will soon come under a pay-and-park system. This development follows the successful implementation of a similar system in the Central Business District (CBD), marking an expansion of structured parking initiatives across the city.
Pricing Structure for Daily and Monthly Passes
The new pay-and-park system introduces a clear pricing framework designed to accommodate both occasional users and regular commuters. For daily parking, a day pass has been set at Rs 75 for two-wheelers and Rs 150 for four-wheelers. This option provides flexibility for short-term parking needs, such as shopping trips or appointments.
For those who require more frequent access, monthly passes offer a cost-effective solution. The monthly rates have been fixed at Rs 1,500 for two-wheelers and Rs 3,000 for four-wheelers. This tiered approach aims to balance revenue generation with user convenience, encouraging long-term compliance and reducing on-street congestion.
Expansion from CBD to North Bengaluru
The decision to extend the pay-and-park system to North Bengaluru comes after positive outcomes observed in the CBD area. By replicating this model, authorities hope to address parking challenges in high-traffic zones, improve traffic flow, and enhance overall urban mobility. The nine selected roads are expected to benefit from reduced illegal parking and better space utilization.
This initiative is part of broader efforts to modernize Bengaluru's infrastructure and promote sustainable transportation practices. Residents and visitors in North Bengaluru are advised to familiarize themselves with the new system to avoid penalties and ensure a smooth transition.
