Armed with the government-approved Parking Policy 2.0, the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) has surveyed close to 1,089 km of roads, mostly in commercial areas, to study the feasibility of expanding the paid-parking system. Some of these stretches are likely to be brought under the pay-and-park policy on the lines of MG Road, Brigade Road and St Mark’s Road. DULT has, however, decided to put on hold its plan to introduce paid-parking on residential roads.
On Friday, the urban development department (UDD) reviewed the implementation of Parking Policy 2.0 for Bengaluru where senior officers from BBMP, Namma Metro, Bengaluru Traffic Police and DULT were present.
