禁止在楼道停放电动车的通知英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1A Plea to Keep Our Corridors ClearAs students living in these dormitories, we've all experienced the frustration of trying to navigate our floor's hallways and corridors while they are obstructed by parked electric bikes, scooters, and other personal mobility devices. While I understand the convenience these transportation methods offer, allowing them to be stored in our shared indoor spaces is disruptive, unsafe, and needs to be addressed.Just this morning, I was running late for my 9 AM lecture after hitting snooze one too many times. As I rushed out of my room and into the corridor, I nearly tripped over a electric scooter lying horizontally across the narrow hallway. I stumbled but kept my balance, though my heavy backpack weight shifted precariously. Thankfully there was nobody behind me who could have been injured by a collision. However, the delay caused by having to awkwardly sidestep the scooter made me miss my bus, which made me 10 minutes late to class.This is just one example of the obstacles and hazards that inconsiderately placed electric vehicles can create. Our corridors and hallways are simply too narrow for these modes of transportation to be parked in them without blocking a substantial portion of the walking path. Larger bikes and scooters can effectively cut off the hallway entirely if placed widthwise. Even if carefully aligned lengthwise, they still take up enough space to force residents to awkwardly shuffle past in single file.For anyone using a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility assistance device, navigating a corridor obstructed by parked electric vehicles becomes extraordinarily difficult if not downright impossible. Those with larger frames or carrying heavy loads also struggle. And anyone who is visually impaired has an elevated risk of injuring themselves by accidentally colliding with an obstructing vehicle left in the middle of the corridor.Speaking from personal experience, I recently underwent surgery on my right knee and spent a month on crutches. During that time, the simple act of leaving or entering my room became an exercise in caution and frustration as I tried to maneuver my crutches around randomly strewn scooters and bikes that had nobusiness being left in the hallway. More than once, I nearly took a tumble because I had to abruptly stop short when the corridor was blocked, unable to find a clear path wide enough for my crutches.These abandoned electric vehicles strewn about our hallways also present a serious fire safety hazard. Lithium-ion batteries have been known to spontaneously combust and the resulting fires are extremely difficult to contain or extinguish with conventional methods. Should such a fire start, not only would the offending vehicle itself be destroyed, but the blaze could rapidly spread and block all escape routes from our floor. In a corridor choked with bikes, scooters, and other flammable obstacles, it would be impossible for residents to evacuate without risking injury from falling and pileups.In addition to fire risks, these haphazardly abandoned electric vehicles create other safety issues as well. Items left in hallways and corridors become tripping hazards and obstacles in the event of an emergency evacuation. They could also potentially be used as makeshift barricades in an active shooter situation, further endangering lives. No matter how innocuous they may seem, allowing large objects to freely obstruct our shared pathways is a dereliction of proper safety protocols.From an accessibility and legal liability perspective, having hallways and building access routes routinely blocked by personal transportation devices is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Buildings are required to maintain clear paths of travel that are accessible to all residents, including those with mobility disabilities. By allowing electric bikes and scooters to be parked in interior corridors, our dormitories are violating accessibility regulations and opening themselves up to potential legal action.While these inconsiderately parked electric vehicles are certainly an annoyance and frequent obstacle, they could outright prevent residents with certain disabilities from being able to enter or exit their rooms at all if the corridor is completely blocked. That is an unacceptable situation that violates housing rights and anti-discrimination laws. A single lawsuit along those lines would be tremendously costly and embarrassing for our university.Beyond just the physical and safety hazards, there is also the principal of simple courtesy and respect for our shared spaces to consider. Our building corridors are intended for the free passage of residents and building staff, not as personal storage areas. By taking up valuable shared space with their possessions, those who park electric vehicles in the hallways demonstrate aselfish lack of regard for their neighbor's right to accessible and unimpeded building access.Having to constantly navigate around randomly scattered electric bikes and scooters is not only annoying, it communicates an unwelcoming and chaotic environment that detracts from our collegiate experience. Our dormitory experience should be one of order and community, not one of pedestrians being forced to stumble through an obstacle course of carelessly abandoned vehicles every time they want to go about their day.Additionally, exterior walkways and patios are common areas that are meant to be enjoyed by all residents, not appropriated as personal parking lots. Littering these shared outdoor spaces with electric vehicles diminishes their visual appeal, making the entire area look more like a vehicle staging zone than an inviting collegiate environment. There is a reasonable expectation that our dormitory's common spaces should be focused on community building, not facilitating an unsightly and inconvenient clutter of personal transportation devices.I recognize that many students find electric bikes, scooters, and other personal electric vehicles to be a convenient and environmentally friendly way to transit across campus. And thereare certainly times and situations where it makes sense to be able to park closer to your destination, such as for students with mobility disabilities. However, indiscriminately parking these items in building corridors is not the solution. Dedicated parking areas and docking stations should be established to provide for proper electric vehicle storage.Our dormitory already provides a number of enclosed bike storage rooms, as well as outdoor bike racks for that purpose. While these facilities were originally intended for traditional bicycles, they could easily be updated to also accommodate a reasonable number of electric bikes and scooters, complete with charging ports if necessary. These secure storage areas would keep our corridors clear while still allowing residents to conveniently keep their electric transportation devices on premises.Even without modifying the existing bike rooms, simple painted parking boxes could be created in select areas of the ground floor to designate approved electric vehicle parking zones. These zones could be sited in ways that do not impede accessibility while still providing convenient parking options for those residents who truly need them. Enforcement camerascould be installed to levy fines against those who fail to properly use the designated parking areas.My purpose in writing this letter is not to call for an outright ban on electric bikes, scooters, or other personal electric transportation devices themselves. When used properly, these emission-free alternatives to cars and busses can play an important role in reducing our campus's carbon footprint and supporting sustainability efforts. I only object to the practice of parking them in hallways, lobbies, stairwells, and other common areas where they create obstructions and potential hazards.We share these residence halls, and with that sharing comes a mutual obligation of respect, consideration, and responsibility. Just as we wouldn't think of leaving our electric bicycles strewn about in lounges or study rooms, we should extend that same courtesy to keeping our building corridors clear and unobstructed. Electric vehicles are wonderful personal mobility tools, but they need to be properly stored when not in use, not simply abandoned wherever is most immediately convenient.By strictly prohibiting the parking of electric bikes, scooters, and other personal transportation devices in our building's shared interior spaces, we can keep our hallways safe, accessible, and uncluttered for all residents. At the same time, we can createdesignated parking areas for those who truly need to keep their electric transportation devices on hand. A balanced solution is possible, but it requires all of us to be mindful of the impacts our mobility choices have on others.Our residence halls should be a shared community where all residents feel welcomed, respected and safe. Carelessly obstructing our corridors with personal property demonstrates a lack of regard for that community and prioritizes individual convenience over basic accessibility and safety. We deserve better, which is why I urge campus housing authorities to take action and put policies in place that will keep our hallways clear and hazard-free for everyone. Our collegiate experience and quality of life depends on it.篇2Notice Prohibiting Electric Vehicles in the HallwaysYo dudes and dudettes! I've got something seriously irritating to rant about today. You know that obnoxious notice the housing department just put up about not parking electric vehicles like scooters and hoverboards in the hallways? Yeah, that one that's cramping our style big time.I get that they're trying to keep things safe and all, but come on - we're supposed to be at the cutting edge here! Electric transportation is where it's at. It's the future, people! How are we supposed to be environmentally conscious while also living that efficient, on-the-go lifestyle if we can't even park our rides in the hallway for easy access?Apparently the housing staff is worried about the fire hazard from the lithium batteries. Sure, I guess there have been a few cases of those things combusting. But don't they know how ridiculous the odds of that happening are? We're talking astronomical levels of improbability here. It's like getting struck by lightning while also winning the lottery. Twice.And let's not forget the convenience factor we're sacrificing here. You know how groggy and sluggish we all are first thing in the morning before that first cup of rocket fuel...I mean coffee. How are we supposed to successfully operate a normal mode of transportation at that hour? With electric transpo parked right outside our doors, we don't even have to fully wake up to get to class! Just cruise on over while mentally still in dreamland. Genius.Then there's the argument about them obstructing the hallways and creating a safety hazard. Um, hello? Have you seenthe sizes of some of these things? They're tiny! Smaller than some of the rascal scooters the elderly residents use to get around. We could probably park two or three comfortably next to each other and still have room for people to pass by no problem. Sheesh, talk about overreacting.And don't even get me started on the environmental impact we'd be avoiding. Emissions from all those gas guzzlers getting driven across campus? No thank you. We're academics after all - we're supposed to be championing eco-friendly practices at every turn. By stifling our access to clean electric transportation, the housing department is pretty much dooming planet Earth. Way to be, guys.Then there's the "aesthetic" argument that our sweet rides are just too unsightly to be stored anywhere other than our rooms or some dank basement closet. Since when did this institution get so snobby about design and decor? Last I checked, minimalist cinderblock chic was all the rage around here. Our whips would class up those drab hallways more than anything.Of course, all of this is to say nothing of the financial burden this edict is placing on us poor, broke students. You know how much it costs to park a gas guzzler on campus? Enough to wipe out an entire meal plan! With electric transportation though, wewouldn't need permits or passes. Those savings could go toward, oh I don't know...books? Supplies? Heck, even tuition! Why is the administration trying to bleed us dry at every turn?At the end of the day, we all know the real reason behind this crackdown - the housing folks are jealous. Jealous that we've got the coolest new tech on two (or one) wheels while they're stuck plodding around like peasants from the dark ages. They're just intimidated by our ability to effortlessly merge cutting-edge environmentalism with ultimate convenience.Well you know what I say to that? Vive la resistance! Who's with me? We can't let this oppressive regime smash our mobility rights. Maybe it's time to take a page from the revolting revolutionaries of yesteryear and stage some peaceful protest rides around campus. Cruising in looping circuits through the academic buildings chanting "No rules, just electric fuel!" while waving signs bearing slogans like "The Shockingly Good Ride of the Future!"Okay, maybe that's a bit much. But you get my point. We shouldn't just meekly accept this misguided policy - we've got to fight back! Or at the very least, flood the housing department with letters and emails expressing our outrage. Power to the eco-friendly proletariat! Vroom vroom!篇3A Notice No Student Wants to SeeYou know that sinking feeling when you see an official notice posted around campus? The one that warns of some new rule or regulation that is definitely going to cramp your style? Well, I got that feeling the other day when I saw a bright red sign go up in the lobby of my dorm building. In big bold letters it declared "NO PARKING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN HALLWAYS OR STAIRWELLS."My heart sank a little as I read it. You see, like many students nowadays, I have an electric scooter or "e-scooter" that I use to buzz around campus. It's so convenient for quickly getting to classes across the sprawling university grounds. And I'll admit, I was one of those people who would just park my scooter in the hallway right outside my dorm room. I never thought it was that big of a deal.But now, with this new policy, the party seems to be over for us e-scooter owners. No more keeping our trusty rides right outside our doors for easy access. We have to find somewhere else to store them, and that's a massive inconvenience if you ask me.I can already hear the administration's arguments for this heavy-handed new rule. "The hallways are fire hazards if they're blocked!" "Emergency vehicles and personnel can't get through!" "People could trip over the scooters!" Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before from the admins.But let me tell you, having lived in the dorms for two years now, the hallways are never that crowded. There's always plenty of room to navigate around, even with a couple scooters stuck here and there. We students are responsible people who try to be courteous with where we put our stuff.As for fire risks, I've never once heard a smoke alarm go off in the building that wasn't caused by someone burning popcorn or something similarly harmless. We're adults here, and we know not to block fire exits or crucial pathways. A couple of scooters sitting off to the side has never been an issue in the past.Then there's the tripping argument. Is that really a big enough hazard to ban e-scooters from the halls entirely? I mean, there are all sorts of potential tripping hazards around - from loose tiles to wet floor signs. We all just need to watch where we're going and it's not a problem. No one's going to be seriously injured by a stray scooter in the hallway.To me, this whole new policy feels like another instance of the over-protective, bloated university administration flexing its muscles and making our lives just a little bit harder for no good reason. As if the astronomical tuition costs and subpar dorm conditions weren't enough for us to deal with already.I know I'll get used to having to park my scooter outside or down in the bike rooms eventually. But it's just such an inconvenience, you know? There's going to be a lot more walking and hauling and wasted time involved in my day now. All because some office drone decided having some scooters out in the hallway for a little while was too risky or untidy for their tastes.It makes me wonder what the real motivation is here. Knowing the way the university works, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some ancillary money-making scheme behind it all. Are they going to try to rent out paid scooter parking spaces next? Or maybe fine students caught with their scooters out? It wouldn't be the first time they've nickel-and-dimed us this way.Whatever the reason, I think this policy is a mistake. Thee-scooters make getting around so much easier for us perpetually-rushing students. Having them close at hand is really convenient. Forcing us to park them somewhere out of the way isbound to discourage their use, at least for shorter trips around campus. And in an era when we're supposed to be reducing emissions and traffic, why would you want to disincentivize environmentally-friendly transportation like this?I also worry that this move is just the next step in a wider campus campaign against alternative mobility aids likee-scooters and e-bikes. With the way admins seem to over-react to even the slightest potential risks, I could see them trying to ban them from campus entirely somewhere down the line. And that would be a huge loss for students like me who don't have cars and rely on them to get around quickly.So in my view, the university really dropped the ball with this arbitrary and heavy-handed new "no scooters in hallways" policy. They didn't properly consider the impacts and conveniences it takes away from students. As usual, it feels like a matter of aggressive rules being put in place, not for any genuinely justified reasons of safety or necessity, but to exercise control and make the campus appear "neater" to outsiders.If you ask me, this whole notices smacks of overzealous admin overreach. And as a student having my day-to-day life inconvenienced by it, I have to say: this policy sucks. Here's to hoping cooler heads prevail and it gets reversed soon. Becausethere's nothing worse than unnecessary red tape interfering with your college experience and making things harder than they need to be.。
给交通管理提建议英语作文Traffic congestion and accidents have become a pressing issue in many cities around the world, causing significant delays, pollution, and even fatalities. To address these challenges, it is crucial to enhance traffic management systems and adopt innovative strategies. This proposal outlines several recommendations to improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and reduce the environmental impact of transportation.Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS)The integration of Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) is essential for effective traffic management. ITS utilizes advanced technologies such as sensors, cameras, and real-time data analytics to monitor traffic conditions and optimize traffic flow. By implementing ITS, traffic signals can adjust their timing based on real-time traffic patterns, reducing congestion and delays. Additionally, ITS can provide drivers with alternative routes and real-time parking availability, further improving the efficiency of road networks.Public Transportation EnhancementEncouraging the use of public transportation is a sustainable solution to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. To make public transportation more attractive, it is essential to improve its reliability, comfort, and coverage. This can be achieved by investing in modern, efficient, and clean public transport vehicles, such as electric buses and trains. Furthermore, implementing dedicated bus lanes and priority signaling for public transport can significantly improve travel times and reliability.Active Transportation PromotionActive transportation, such as cycling and walking, not only reduces traffic congestion but also contributes to a healthier lifestyle. To promote active transportation, cities should invest in infrastructure such as cycle paths,pedestrian-friendly streets, and secure bike parking facilities. Additionally, providing incentives such as subsidized bike-sharing programs and discounted public transport fares for cyclists can encourage more people to choose active modes of transportation.Congestion ChargingCongestion charging, also known as road pricing, is an effective strategy to reduce traffic congestion in urban areas. By imposing a fee on vehicles entering or driving within a specified zone during peak hours, congestion charging discourages unnecessary car trips and encourages the use of alternative modes of transportation. The revenue generated from congestion charging can be used to fund public transportation improvements and other sustainable transportation initiatives.Driver Education and EnforcementImproving driver behavior is crucial to enhancing road safety and reducing traffic congestion. Driver education programs should be regularly updated to incorporate new technologies and traffic rules. Strict enforcement of traffic regulations, such as speed limits and traffic signal compliance, is essential to ensure that drivers adhere to the rules of the road. Additionally, implementing automated enforcement systems, such as speed cameras and red light cameras, can further improve compliance and reduce the risk of accidents.Smart Parking SolutionsParking spaces are often a scarce resource in urban areas, contributing to traffic congestion and frustration among drivers. Smart parking solutions utilize sensors and real-time data to provide drivers with information on available parking spaces, reducing the time spent searching for parking and improving traffic flow. Additionally, implementing dynamic pricing for parking spaces based on demand can discourage long-term parking and encourage the turnover of parking spaces.Collaborative ApproachEffective traffic management requires a collaborative approach involvingvarious stakeholders, including government agencies, transport operators, technology providers, and the community. Establishing partnerships and sharing data and resources can facilitate the development and implementation of integrated traffic management strategies. Additionally, engaging with the community through public consultations and feedback can ensure that traffic management solutions are tailored to local needs and preferences.In conclusion, improving traffic management is essential to enhancing the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transportation systems. By implementing intelligent traffic systems, enhancing public transportation, promoting active transportation, introducing congestion charging, improving driver education and enforcement, adopting smart parking solutions, and taking a collaborative approach, cities can significantly improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and accidents, and contribute to a better quality of life for their citizens.。

The Benton, Arkansas native launched her own non-profit, Lisowe’s Lights, in 2018, donating over 500 nightlights to kids in the Arkansas foster (寄养的) system that year alone.Since, she has expanded to all 50 states (and 9 countries) and raised funds to distribute more than 15,000 nightlights — with no plans of slowing down.“Kids in foster homes sometim es have to leave in the middle of the night without taking anything with them,” she says. “I wanted to help them feel less scared and more safe.” The 12-year-old hopes to give away at least 2,500 more lights in 2023.Amelia grew up volunteering with her mom, Lauren, who encouraged her daughter to find something she was good at and use it to make the world a better place. “I’m so proud of her,” Lauren adds. “She’s involved in every decision we make. Every time we spend money, she helps decide if something i s a good idea or will further our cause.”Amelia also gets help from friends in the Royal International Miss Pageant system, who run their own nightlight drives in person and online. Amelia, a sixth grader who also volunteers at her local food bank and nursing home, says she feels the impact of her work most when she hears from organizations that have put her lights to use.“I heard about one boy in Oklahoma who never turned off his hall light, not because he was scared, but because he wanted to make sure his little sister was always doing okay across the hall,” Amelia shares. “When they got their nightlight, he knew she wouldn’t be afraid anymore.”4.What was the reason for Amelia’s being refused as a volunteer?A. Her young age.B. Her slow reaction.C. Her busy schedule.D. Her little experience.5.How can nightlights help kids in foster homes?A. By easing their scare.B. By encouraging them to explore.C.

To show how nightlights help kids.Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful s tatement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag u sed to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife t rade.”.Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the d estructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”8.Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim?A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.B. It is made into a crocodile shape.C. It is light enough to float on water.D. It was kept in flowing river at first.9.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.10.What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Seized.B. Sold.C. Found.D. Stolen.11.What does Tapley’s words focus on?A. The importance of wildlife protection.B. The crisis endangered animals are facing.C. The purpose to show the handbag.D. The harm IWT caused.Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by coral animals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching(漂白). It happens when the corals lose colored algae(海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic(酸性的) from absorbing CO2, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the worst affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focus on finding genes(基因) for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the worl d’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to howquickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.12.Which is the main threat to coral reefs?A.

The growth of vehicle population in Jaipur is very alarming. The public transport system is very weak and this is propelling the growth of individual modes of transport. The economic activities are congregating and intensifying in the walled city of Jaipur as a result of which a large number of passenger and goods transport trips originate and end in the walled city. This situation is warranting the need for adequate parking facilities and appropriate management policies, if the activities of walled city are to sustain. This paper presents the surveys carried out to assess the parking demand and supply within the walled city of Jaipur. The parking demand is projected for the horizon year and the shortfall is estimated. The private sector participation to meet the projected demand by implementing parking management and pricing policies is also illustrated in the paper.Keywords: Parking accumulation; Parking duration; Parking demand; Parking design; Parking policyINTRODUCTIONMetropolitan centres in the country are increasing both in number and population. There were 23 such cities in 1991 and these are expected to be 40 by the turn of the century1. Most of these cities have developed from historical times. The economic activities like trade, commerce and administration created in the old parts of the cities are getting densified rapidly. In some cities the historic spots of tourist interest are also located in these old parts. Consequently t he intensity of journeys to these activity centres are increasing. The improvement in the economic stat us of the people coupled with availability of personal modes of transport has contributed to the growth in vehicular traffic to the activity centres. The resulting scenario is that the roads leading to these centres are flooded with vehicles of all types resulting in congestion. Another typical feature of these areas is that the carriageway and foot paths, meant respectively for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, are occupied by hawkers and vendors reducing the capacity of carriageways adding to the problems of crawling traffic and choked roads. As of today the commercial areas in everycity are faced with problems of parking, congestion, accidents and environmental pollution. The planners and administrators, concerned with these problems, are trying to find solutions. The present paper describes one of the attempts of planners in finding out solution to the parking problems of walled city in Jaipur. The paper includes description of the parking problems in walled city o f Jaipur, field studies conducted to assess the characteristics of parking and remedial measures suggested along with a suitable parking policy.PARKING PROBLEMS IN JAIPUR CITYJaipur is one of the metropolitan cities in the country with a population of over 1.5 million and is observed to be growing at 49% per decade1. Besides being the capital city of Rajasthan, the city of Jaipur is a major tourist centre in the country as well. Major portions of economic activities of the city are located in walled city area, spreading over 6.7 km2. This area is, besides having heavily concentrated activities, a very important tourist centre and attracts tourists from all over the globe. The economic activities in the form of wholesale trade, commerce, household industries, administration and tourist spots generate heavy traffic to and from these areas. The limited road space of the area is congested with vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The shopkeepers and vendors also occupy the sidewalks and carriageways. Consequently the traffic in these areas is facing acute congestion, bottlenecks and hazards. The environmental pollution as well as physical and visual intrusions are also some of the other problems increasingly faced by the residents and the visitors to the area.Parking demand in the walled city area is met mainly by roadside parking along all major roads and there is no major off-street parking facility. With the ever increasing parking demand the vehicles are parked in two rows on carriageways. Footpaths are also filled with parked vehicles. While there is heavy demand for parking, the limited enforcement of regulatory measures fail to control and manage the parking problems. The Jaipur Development Authority ( JDA) concerned with the growing demand for parking and the related problems, (ie, traffic circulation, congestion etc), requested the Central Road Research Institute. New Delhi, to study the parking problems and suggest policies and schemes of management. In the light of the resource and time constraints, as well as severity of problems, the scope of the study was restricted to Kishanpole bazaar in the west,Tripolia bazaar in the north, Mirza Ismail Road (M I Road) in the south and Johari bazaar in the east as shown in Figure 1.Figure 1 Map showing the study areaOBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDYThe study was taken up with the following objectives:o to assess the parking demand and characteristics of the study area;o to assess the traffic operating conditions on the major roads within the study area;o to project the parking demand of the future;o to explore the possibilities of augmenting the parking spaces; ando to develop parking management schemes and policies to meet the parking demand of the present and future.FIELD STUDIESWith a view to assess the existing parking demand, parking supply, traffic volume and traffic speed on major roads and related data was collected by carrying out field surveys, namely,o traffic volume survey;o speed and delay survey of traffic;o parking duration and accumulation surveys;o users opinion survey;o inventory of regulatory measures of parking; ando inventory of parking spaces.Traffic Volume SurveyThis survey was carried out between 0900 h and 1300 h and between 1600 h and 2000 h on a normal working day at mid- block locations of the following road sections:o Kishanpole Bazaar;o Chaura Rastha;o Johari Bazaar; ando Tripolia Bazaar.Speed and Delay SurveysSpeed and delay studies were conducted on all the major road sections to obtain average journey speeds and related delays during the morning and evening peak hours. The road sections included in the survey are:o Kishanpole Bazaar;o Chaura Rastha;o Johari Bazaar;o Tripolia Bazaar;o Nehru Bazaar;o Bapu Bazaar; ando Mirza Ismail Road.Parking SurveysThese surveys were carried out to assess the parking demand, parking characteristics, parking accumulation and duration within the study area.Users SurveyBoth two-wheeler and four-wheeler users were interviewed on sampling basis to obtain the data on socio-economic characteristics, purpose of the trip, origin of trip, duration of parking, time needed to walk to the final destination and problems faced while parking. The interviews covered all the seven road sections mentioned in the speed and delay studies.Inventory of Regulation and ControlThe inventory of regulatory and control measures that are in vogue have been identified and the prevailing enforcement measures have been studied through field inspection. The inventory survey covered all the road sections mentioned in speed and delay studies. Inventory of Off-street Parking FacilitiesInventory of the two available off-street parking facilities in the vicinity of the study area ha s been carried out. This included the assessment of the available spaces and their effectiveness as parking lots.TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICSThe data collected through surveys have been analysed to understand the nature and magnitude of the traffic problems and parking characteristics. These aspects of traffic are discussed here.Traffic VolumeThe road sections in the study area are found to carry traffic not only terminating to the activities located in the study area but also to other areas (through traffic). The peak hour traffic and composition presented in Table 1 show that the traffic volume ranges from 3600 vehicles/h to 8200 vehicles/h. The maximum flow was obse rved on Tripolia Bazaar. It is interesting to note that the two-wheelers, cycles and cycle rickshaws accounted for more than 85% of the traffic. Tripolia Bazaar has maximum percentage of non-motorised traffic (more than 50%).Parking AccumulationVehicles parked in the study area comprised two-wheelers, cycles, cycle rickshaws, four wheelers and goods vehicles, such as, pedal carts and cycle carts. Amongst these two- wheeler and cycle rickshaws were dominant. Peak parking demand of vehicles on selected road sections is presented in Table 2. The table shows that Tripolia Bazaar ranks high with1882 vehicles followed by Johari Bazaar with 1604 vehicles.The parking demand for the entire study area in terms of equivalent carspaces (ECS) was worked out to be 3985. The hourly variations in terms of the vehicles parked on different road sections are presented in Figure 2. From the figure it can be observed that the accumulation reaches maximum by 1200 h and declines gradua lly by afternoon and again becomes maximum in the evening by 1830 h.Parking DurationData on duration of parking of the cars and two-wheelers in the study area has been analysed. Cumulative percentages of cars and two-wheelers parked for different time duration are presented in Figure 3. It can be seen from the figure that 60% of cars and 55% of two-wheelers were parked for less than half an hour. Similarly, 78% of cars and 75% of two-wheelers are parked for less than one hour. The parking duration of two- wheelers is observed to be more than that of cars. This may be due to the shop keepers owning two-wheelers and parking them for more time. The number of cars and two-wheelers entering the parking lots on the day of survey are also presented in Table 3. As shown in the table a total of 6000 cars and 25 900 two-wheelers enter the various parking lots in the study area between 0900 h and 2100 h.Users SurveyThe data of users survey was analysed to know the purpose of their visit to the area, the duration of parking, problems faced while parking etc.Trip Purpose: The purpose of the trips to the study area revealed the following salient features:o Shopping for self followed by trading for business were the main purposes of theirvisit to the study area; ando 20% to 30% of the trips were for work.Parking Duration: The analysis of parking duration according to trip purpose revealed that as expected users reporting work as trip purpose are found to be parking for longer duration whilst those reporting shopping and trade as trip purpose are found to be parking for shorter duration (Table 4).Walking Times: Analysis of walking times from parking lots to the ultimate destination revealed the following salient features:o Along all the road sections nearly 80% of the users reported walking time of5 min from the place of parking to the ultimate destination; ando On Bapu Bazaar nearly 26% reported walking time of more than 15 min indicating the shortage of parking spaces closer to their place of destination.Users Problems: Under the problems reported by the users the time spent in locating the place for parking was predominant. Further, the regulation of one hour restriction on parking at Johari Bazaar was another problem. This is the only section where parking time restriction is strictly implemented. Insecurity for the vehicles is another major problem reported by the users.Trip OriginsThe analysis of the data relating to the place of origin of the parkers, visiting the study area, revealed that the walled city attracts trips from all parts of the city. The pattern of the trips is presented in Figure 4, in the form of desire line diagram2. Trips are also attracted from far off places like Sanganer and Mansarover thus indicating that the walled city continues to be the main centre for wholesale and retail trade.Existing Parking Regulations and ControlThe measures in force are:o Organised parking of cars, two-wheelers and goods vehicles along the kerb side in the study area;o ‘Parking’and‘No Parking’zones are specified through sign boards though the signs are not clear and conspicuous; ando Time restriction on duration of parking in some areas.The field inspection showed that‘No Parking’restrictions are not observed by the users. The time restriction of one hour is enforced only on cars parked in the Johari Bazaar area. Off-street Parking LotsThere are only two off-street parking lots in the vicinity of the study area, namely, Sanjay Market near Sanganeri gate and Ramnivas Garden. The Sanjay Market parking lot canestimatedly accommodate about 50 cars. The circulation and parking arrangements as well as the entry and exit are not designed and regulated on any scientific basis and this results in haphazard parking and inefficient use of the available space. Ramnivas Garden parking lot caters mainly to the requirement of the visitors to the garden and the present parking lot can accommodate about 40 cars and 50 two- wheelers. Parking fee is also charged at this parking lot. The visitors to the bazaar area have the problem of crossing the heavy traffic moving on Mirza Ismail Road, and this discour- ages the visitors from parking at this lot.Existing Parking SupplyKerbside parking is allowed on all the road sections in the study area and can accommodate a total of 2645 ECS. The section wise details of the ECS for various road sections are presented in Table 5.Projection of Parking DemandThe growth in parking demand is directly related to growth in activities located in the study area coupled with increase in vehicle ownership in the city besides economic status of the people visiting the area. The growth levels in trade and commerce which is the main activity in the study area was considered for parking demand projection. The planned growth for these activities in the city is 4.9%, 5.9% and 6.2% per annum3,4. Parking demand has been worked out using these growth rates. The space and infrastructure available in the study area may not allow a higher growth of 6.2% per annum in activities. But to account for increasing growth trend of vehicle ownership/economic status in the projection of parking demand, a growth rate of 6.2% per annum is considered appropriate and hence the same was adopted in this study.Parking demands have been projected separately for cars and two-wheelers for the year 2001 and 2011 AD. Table 6 presents the mode wise and road section wise projected parking demand in comparison with base year.FindingsThe study area has limited parking spaces with five road sec- tions. These road sections carry traffic to and from the activities located in the study area in addition to the through traffic. The kerbside parking is allowed on both sides of road sections.(i) Because of the road traffic and parked vehicles the traffic rawls at a speed of less than15 kmph.(ii) Due to inadequate parking space and ever increasing parking demand the vehicles can be seen parked in two rows on the carriageway and even footpaths are occupied with parked vehicles.(iii) The perceptions of the people visiting the area are that they face problems in locating a parking space and the restriction of parking to one hour duration is a problem.(iv) The available spaces can meet only two-thirds of the demand thus leaving an unsatisfied demand of one- third.(v) The existing off-street parking lots are ill managed and are lacking in design and suffer from the absence of systematic design and regulations.(vi) The projected parking demand shows that the parking spaces have to be created in the form of off- street parking lots besides regulating the present kerbside parking. (vii) Parking accumulation reaches maximum by 1200 h in the morning and comes down for couple of hour s in the afternoon and again reaches maximum accumulation during evening hour.(viii)Sixty percent of cars and 55% of two-wheeler are parked for less than half an hour. RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES AND POLICIESThe parking space available can cope with only two-third of the present demand and the projected parking demand is much higher.Presently no parking fee is being charged for kerbside parking. In the absence of parking fee the user can move from one deterrent to the growth of parking demand up to certain time period. With the continuous increase in economic status of the residents, the parking demand is bound to increase. Therefore, there is a need to evolve strategies to meet the growing demand through demand management and capacity augmentation.中文译文:旅游古城斋浦尔的停车管理战略摘要:斋浦尔是一个在最近四年里人口以指数增长且发展非常快速的大都市。
给居民提意见不让停车在居民楼的英语作文In recent years, urban development has seen a rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the road. This surge in car ownership, while indicative of economic growth, has led to significant challenges in urban planning and residential living conditions. One critical issue that has emerged is the inappropriate parking of vehicles in residential areas. This essay aims to highlight the various reasons why residents should refrain from parking near residential buildings and to propose alternative solutions to mitigate the problem.To begin with, parking near residential buildings poses serious safety risks. Residential areas are designedprimarily for living, not for accommodating large numbers of vehicles. Narrow streets, limited visibility, and the presence of pedestrians, especially children, create hazardous conditions when cars are parked haphazardly.Emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks and ambulances, often struggle to navigate these crowded spaces, which can delay crucial response times during emergencies. For instance, a blocked fire hydrant due to a parked car can result in catastrophic consequences during a fire outbreak.Moreover, the aesthetic value of residential neighborhoods is significantly compromised when cars are parked inappropriately. The visual clutter of numerous vehicles detracts from the architectural beauty and planned landscaping of the area. Residents invest considerable time and resources into maintaining their homes and surroundings, and the presence of parked cars can undermine these efforts.A neighborhood's appeal is not only a matter of pride for its residents but also a factor that influences property values.A cluttered and congested area can deter potential buyers, thus impacting the overall real estate market.The environmental impact of parking near residential buildings cannot be overlooked either. Vehicles emit pollutants that contribute to air and noise pollution, both of which have detrimental effects on the health and well-being of residents. Idling cars, in particular, release a high concentration of exhaust gases, which can seep into homes and negatively affect indoor air quality. Noise pollution from car engines, alarms, and the general commotion associated with parking can disrupt the peace and tranquility that residents expect in their living spaces.Furthermore, the convenience of parking close to one’s residence often leads to a reliance on personal vehicles for short trips, which could otherwise be completed by walking, cycling, or using public transportation. This dependency not only exacerbates traffic congestion but also contributes to a sedentary lifestyle among residents. Encouraging alternative modes of transportation can foster a healthier community and reduce the environmental footprint of the neighborhood.Another significant issue is the potential for increased crime rates. Vehicles parked in residential areas are often targets for theft and vandalism. The presence of unknown individuals loitering around parked cars can also raise security concerns among residents. A well-planned community should prioritize the safety and security of its inhabitants, and reducing the number of parked cars can help achieve this goal.To address these concerns, several measures can be implemented. Firstly, urban planners and local authorities should invest in the development of designated parking facilities, such as multi-story car parks, on the periphery of residential areas. This would keep vehicles away from homes while still providing convenient access for residents. Additionally, implementing strict parking regulations and enforcement policies can deter unauthorized parking and ensure compliance with community standards.Public transportation infrastructure should also be enhanced to reduce the reliance on personal vehicles. Efficient and reliable public transport options can provide a viable alternative for residents, reducing the need for parking spaces near homes. Bicycle-sharing programs and pedestrian-friendly pathways can further encourage residents to adopt more sustainable modes of transportation.Community awareness and engagement are crucial in addressing the issue of parking near residential buildings. Residents should be educated about the negative impacts of inappropriate parking and encouraged to adopt responsible behaviors. Community meetings, newsletters, and social media campaigns can be effective tools in spreading awareness and fostering a collective effort to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood.In conclusion, the practice of parking near residential buildings presents numerous challenges, including safetyrisks, aesthetic degradation, environmental pollution, and potential increases in crime rates. To create a safe, attractive, and sustainable living environment, it is essential for residents to refrain from parking in these areas. By implementing appropriate infrastructure, enhancing public transportation, and raising community awareness, we can mitigate the negative impacts of this issue and promote a higher quality of life for all residents. The responsibility lies not only with local authorities but also with each individual resident to ensure that our neighborhoods remain safe and pleasant places to live.。
停车管理制度简单解释英文IntroductionParking management system is a set of rules and regulations that govern the use of parking spaces, ensuring that they are used efficiently and fairly. The aim of a parking management system is to minimize congestion and environmental impact, while maximizing convenience for users.Types of Parking Management SystemsThere are various types of parking management systems, ranging from simple pay-and-display systems to more complex computerized systems. Some common types of parking management systems include:- Pay-and-Display: This is a simple system in which drivers pay for their parking at a pay station and display their ticket on the dashboard of their vehicle. This system is easy to implement and relatively low cost, but it can lead to long queues at pay stations and may not be suitable for large parking facilities.- Pay-by-Space: In a pay-by-space system, drivers pay for the specific space they use, rather than for a specific amount of time. This can help to reduce congestion and maximize space utilization, but it requires more sophisticated technology and may be less convenient for users.- License Plate Recognition: This system uses cameras to capture the license plate of each vehicle entering and leaving the parking facility. Drivers can then pay for their parking online or via a mobile app, without the need for a physical ticket. This system is convenient for users and can help to reduce queues and congestion, but it requires significant investment in technology.- Automated Parking Guidance: This system uses sensors to monitor the availability of parking spaces and provides real-time information to drivers, guiding them to the nearest available space. This can help to reduce congestion and make parking facilities more user-friendly, but it requires a high level of investment and ongoing maintenance.Key Components of a Parking Management SystemRegardless of the type of parking management system being used, there are several key components that are essential for its effective operation:- Regulations: A parking management system must have clear and enforceable regulations, such as time limits, fees, and restrictions on certain types of vehicles. These regulations should be clearly communicated to users through signage and other means.- Enforcement: Without effective enforcement, parking regulations are meaningless. A parking management system must have a means of enforcing regulations, such as parking attendants, parking meters, or automated enforcement technology.- Payment: A parking management system must provide a means for users to pay for their parking, whether through cash, credit card, mobile app, or other means. Payment should be convenient and user-friendly, to encourage compliance with regulations.- Information: A parking management system should provide users with information about the availability of parking spaces, fees, and regulations, to help them make informed decisions about where and when to park.Benefits of Parking Management SystemsA well-designed parking management system can provide a range of benefits for both users and the community as a whole, including:- Reduced congestion: By encouraging turnover of parking spaces and minimizing the time spent searching for parking, a parking management system can help to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.- Improved air quality: By reducing the amount of time spent driving in search of parking, a parking management system can help to reduce emissions and improve air quality.- Increased revenue: A parking management system can generate revenue for the organization responsible for the parking facility, through fees and fines.- Better user experience: By providing real-time information about available parking spaces and convenient payment options, a parking management system can improve the user experience and encourage repeat visits.Challenges of Parking Management SystemsWhile parking management systems can provide a range of benefits, they also present a number of challenges, including:- Cost: Implementing a parking management system requires significant investment in technology, infrastructure, and staff.- Resistance to change: Some users may be resistant to changes in parking regulations or payment methods, and may be reluctant to comply with new rules.- Fairness: A parking management system must be perceived as fair and equitable, to ensure that all users are treated fairly and that there is no favoritism or discrimination. ConclusionA parking management system is an essential component of modern urban transportation infrastructure, helping to minimize congestion, improve air quality, and maximize the efficient use of parking spaces. By implementing a well-designed parking management system that is fair, user-friendly, and enforceable, cities and organizations can improve the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike.。
Parking enforcement and travel demand managementRomain Petiot *Groupe d’Etude et de Recherche en Economie Mathe´matique (GEREM),Universite ´de Perpignan,France Received 5July 2001;revised 3July 2003;accepted 19July 2004Available online 13October 2004AbstractThis article deals with on-street,non-free parking policy.The aim is to show how parking meter violation challenges the travel demand management policy.The literature widely admits that only the increase in the enforcement effort both deters drivers from offending and contribute to moderating car use.Nevertheless,the link between parking non-compliance,enforcement effort and travel demand has never been examined.We show that when parking meter violation behaviour,fine level choice,modal split and travel demand are connected,the fine increase paradoxically supports car use and encourages parking violation in the case of large parking congestion in particular.q 2004Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.Keywords:Travel policy;Modal choice;Parking policy;Parking behaviour;Parking non-compliance;Enforcement effort1.IntroductionThe literature has widely shown that parking pricing is a key feature of the urban traffic policy (Button and Verhoef,1998;Verhoef et al.,1995),especially when the aim is to moderate commuting (Higgins,1992;Shoup,1997).Yet parking meter offence is seldom dealt with.For instance,the survey by Young et al.(1991)refers neither to parking violation nor to parking enforcement.However,Cullinane and Polak (1992)show how significant the volume of parking offences is,which makes it necessary to analyse both the offender’s behaviour and the relevance of policies designed to deter parking offence.Indeed in 1990,two-thirds of the road offences in France were related to parking.The non-payment of the parking fees was particularly heavy.In Lyon,the vehicles for which the parking fee was not paid accounted for 80%of the parking offences in 1993(Lyon Parc Auto,1994).In Amsterdam,more than 50%of the commuters regularly take the risk of not paying for the parking fee and 67%of the parked hours are not paid (Mulder,1985).Despite the actual importance of parking meter violation,there are few theoretical studies on the question.However,since parking pricing is a part of the travel demand manage-ment policy,parking meter offence directly challenges the efficiency of the travel policy.Nevertheless,there are no rigorous analyses of enforcement effort to be applied within the framework of the travel policy.However,the Adiv and Wang (1987)and Elliott and Wright (1982)analyses show that—as expected—the parking non-compliance level increases as the enforcement effort decreases.This result is obtained by considering that from the driver’s point of view,illegal parking is one category of parking supply among several others.The parking choice is made as a rational economic choice (as a portfolio choice).The driver assesses the expected illegal parking cost (taking into account the enforcement proba-bility and the fine level)versus certain legal parking cost (taking into account the parking charge only).The calculus includes walking time from parking to final destination but excludes the travel demand context as traffic level or parking congestion.Then,the driver opts for the ‘cheapest’alternative between illegal and legal parking.That theore-tical result is empirically confirmed by both American (Adiv and Wang,1987)and English (Elliott and Wright,1982)data.Consequently,it seems to be an accepted fact that an increase in the enforcement effort deters parking offence.0967-070X/$-see front matter q 2004Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.tranpol.2004.07.003Transport Policy 11(2004)399–411/locate/tranpol*Address:IUT de Perpignan,De´partement GLT,Chemin de la Passio Vella,BP 79905,66962Perpignan Cedex,France.Tel.:C 33468662455;fax:C 33468662443.E-mail address:rpetiot@univ-perp.fr (R.Petiot).The aim of this article is to show that the planner should not trust that single relation between enforcement effort and non-compliance insofar as he assumes no link between the parking violation behaviour and travel demand.Actually, there are no answers concerning the impact of afine increase on travel demand.Moreover,given the relation between a parking fee increase and travel demand,it is not obvious whether afine increase is really the best answer to reduce car use when drivers do not pay for parking.Indeed, the Glazer and Niskanen(1992)and Arnott and Rowse (1999)analyses show that an increase in parking charge may yield an increase in parking turnover,which creates an additional parking supply and supports driving demand. Against all odds,parking fee increase reinforces both parking congestion and road congestion.Therefore,without a rigorous theoretical analysis concerning the impacts of the enforcement effort variation on travel demand,it is not reasonable to state that such an effect does not exist when thefine increases.We recall in Section2the aims of the parking pricing policy.Section3shows to what extent parking meter violation challenges travel policy.Section4presents some arguments against the consensus in favour of a systematic fine increase.In particular,we show that thefinancial outlook should be distinguished from an economic approach when the aim of the parking policy is to contribute to the travel demand management.Section5presents the main results of an economic analysis showing that afine increase implies a growth in road congestion and encourages non-compliance.We suggest further developments in a con-clusive point.2.The parking pricing policy2.1.The theoretical foundationsAccording to Calthrop et al.(2000),there exist two sources of inefficiency in urban transport.First,the driving cost does not reflect the actual travel cost.This market failure is dealt with by road pricing.Secondly,few individuals pay for parking.Shoup(1995)underlines that the free parking policy in the United States is generally much more implemented than parking controls.Rennes and Orfeuil(1997)assess to37%the charged on-street parking supply in Paris only.However,the Verhoef et al.(1995)analysis proves the theoretical role of parking pricing in the traffic regulation policy.When the travel cost reaches the level where the marginal social cost equals the marginal private benefit,the social travel costs are internalised and the travel demand reaches a Pareto optimal level.In particular,the total marginal social cost adds the parking social cost to the marginal social cost,which leads to reducing the optimal number of trips.Thus,the travel pricing level should apply both to road traffic and parking.Different kinds of argumentation may justify the parking pricing implemen-tation.We rank here these arguments with respect to three possible theoretical outlooks:†Parking pricing moderates road traffic but it is to be distinguished from traditional tolls.The parking price aim is not only to cover the parking social costs,but it is also to constrain demand so as to yield an optimal allocation of resources.The public road system is‘a scarce resource’and pricing is a way of giving it a price.Then,from the point of view of Bonnafous(1991)and Button(1982),parking pricing is‘a soft toll’—i.e.easier to implement and,according to Arnott et al.(1991),a more acceptable toll for commuters than road pricing.Moreover,it provides funds for investments in parking supply.†Parking pricing yields a second-best optimum on the trip market when there is no road pricing.This conclusion has been largely developed in Verhoef et al.(1995)and Button and Verhoef(1998).When traffic is not priced, drivers express demand for trips according to their private cost only without considering the marginal social cost.In economic terms,the travel market is thus inefficient.Therefore,according to Small(1992),it seems natural to conclude that free parking exacerbates this under-priced driving.Then,a parking fee equal to the marginal social cost would at least regulate parking demand.In this way,parking pricing may lead to achievea second-best on the travel market by internalisingparking externalities.Nevertheless,Glazer and Niskanen (1992)show that if parking pricing reduces the driver’s welfare by curtailing his parking time,the number of drivers being able to park increases.The new drivers’benefits may overall exceed the losses of the already parked drivers in particular when,all other thing being equal,the marginal utility of the new parking users exceeds the willingness to pay of the already parked users.Therefore,parking pricing may generate a net social welfare increase.In this way,according to the terms used by Schaefer(1994),parking pricing becomes a‘trip-end toll’.†Parking pricing may be theoretically regarded as an efficient traffic management tool as well as road pricing.In the absence of road pricing,parking pricing could internalise all the trip-related costs.Parking pricing would therefore yield afirst-best optimum.Drivers would be led to pay the actual parking cost—i.e.all the social costs related to parking including the trip costs upstream from parking.Nevertheless,Verhoef et al.(1995)show that parking pricing cannot compete with road pricing in terms of efficiency.Indeed,road pricing maximises the social welfare as it varies according to the trip characteristics—i.e.trip length,travel time,route choice,etc.These characteristics determine the marginal social cost of travel.On the other hand,parking pricing only acts upon the number of trips and modal choice,butR.Petiot/Transport Policy11(2004)399–411 400never upon route choice or trip length.Consequently,if intellectually parking pricing is potentially able to yield a social optimum,it is to be admitted that parking being located at the end of a trip,it cannot internalise the external costs upstream parking.One efficient solution is to charge all the average traffic cost externalities.However,Verhoef et al.(1995)illustrate the inefficiency of that last solution.For example,a part of the parking fees could correspond to the average external costs due to chemical emissions.Such a pricing would appear as a grant to the benefit of the longest trips which throw out the most emissions into the atmosphere to the detriment of least polluting trips.Although the two kinds of trips would decrease indeed,this tax would be socially inefficient.Finally,according to the authors,this example shows that parking pricing is efficient if the travel externality internalised is road congestion only.2.2.Parking pricing and traffic regulationAlthough parking pricing may yield a social optimum on the urban trip market,some restrictions are necessary to ensure success.Assuming that parking pricing has an impact on modal split,Gillen(1977)analyses the opportunity to substitute road pricing to parking pricing.He shows that, ceteris paribus,a parking fee variation has a rather low impact on modal choice(its elasticity measure of the driving demand with respect to the parking fee amounts to K0.31). Even though this analysis is dated,its conclusion remains interesting and it is confirmed by recent analyses(see Analytics,1995;Shaw,1997;Pratt,1999).They indicate that the elasticity of parking varies typically between K0.1 and K0.3,with significant variation depending on demo-graphic,geographic,travel choice and trip characteristics. Hensher and King(2001)also predict how an increase in parking prices in one location will shift cars to park at other locations,or travellers to shift to public transit(conclusion coming from cross-elasticity analyses).So,drivers faced with the parking fee increase may indeed switch to another trip mode or change their parking mode.Motorists substitute a relocation of their parking place for a modal shift.Only drivers already parked far from theirfinal destination switch to another transportation mode.More-over,the elasticity decreases with the distance to the city centre,simply because demand is lower there.Therefore, Gillen(1978)emphasises an overflow effect of parking pricing since,for a given distance,parking congestion is moved towards periphery.An efficient parking pricing must be continuous on a broad urban area(Gillen,1977).Thus, according to Button(1998),if parking pricing may have effects on traffic,it also has an impact on space use. For example,Arnott et al.(1991)show that the optimal parking pricing,which differs according to the parking location,partially reduces congestion.To lower their travel cost,drivers do not change their transportation mode,but try to park further indeed.The authors conclude then that the benefit in traffic management remainsfinally relatively poor.Generally speaking,the social optimum seems to be obtained by combining parking pricing and road pricing. Calthrop et al.(2000)show that this couple of policies used in a complementary way is the best way of yielding an optimum.Their theoretical simulations allow to conclude that both the parking pricing level and the road pricing level must be determined simultaneously.For van der Waerden et al.(1998),an efficient policy should be a mixture between road pricing and parking pricing.They show that this solution makes it possible to collect more than three quarters of the maximum potential welfare.This result comes from the fact that,on the one hand,parking pricing eliminates the inefficiency stemming from the parking market failures but, on the other hand,road pricing cuts down travel congestion. So,for the authors,this policy remains advantageous because road pricing does not tax the within city trips whereas parking pricing taxes the city centre trips.Nevertheless,the Glazer and Niskanen(1992)model shows that in theory,if parking pricing is likely to increase the overall drivers’surplus,this increase in parking fee cuts each driver’s parking time.Consequently,the parking time reduction generates an higher parking turnover and leads to increase parking supply.So,the increase in parking charge may contribute to increase both traffic demand and road congestion.To conclude,parking pricing is theoretically an actual tool of travel management but its economic efficiency remains relative and it should go with road pricing.Yet, parking policy is to play a part in the traffic calming policy only if it is assumed that drivers comply with the parking tariff constraints.Under the opposite assumption,what would then be the role of parking meter offences in the travel policy?Which parking enforcement effort would it be necessary to implement to reach the aims of the travel policy?3.Parking meter violation and urban mobilityGiven the role played by parking pricing in travel policy, parking meter violation interferes in the expected results of pricing policy.In economic terms,the problem lies in the interdependence between parking fee,enforcement effort, parking non-compliance and travel demand.This inter-dependence turns parking enforcement into a real tool of travel regulation policy.Therefore,both pricing and enforcement effort influence the efficiency of parking policy on the one hand,and,on the other hand,the success of traffic management.Given the relative scarcity of empirical studies consider-ing the specific impact of parking offences on mobility,one cannot say that the analysis of parking meter violation is a priority in the implementation of an effective travel policy.R.Petiot/Transport Policy11(2004)399–411401Nevertheless,a few studies provide facts and clues for further studies.In London,half of the reduction in the total travel speed downtown is due to parking offences(Elliott and Bursey, 1979).Assuming full enforcement,the reduction in the trip length in the urban area would have amounted to20%.May (1985)shows that parking non-compliance induces higher traffic and additional congestion.In addition,Rigby(1983) highlights that the road congestion induced by the parking non-compliance penalises the quality of urban transit.Indeed,parking non-compliance really seems to influ-ence mobility.However,those data are quite old.Therefore, the lack of recent works seems to prove that there exists a consensus on the link between parking non-compliance and mobility:parking violation stimulates both car use and congestion.From the viewpoint of road traffic management, the only policy to be applied is the increase in the enforcement effort,in particular thefine increase.Yet,no rigorous theoretical analyses related to the economic determinants of parking meter violation make it possible to draw such a conclusion.Therefore,it seems necessary to study the economic determinants of the parking meter violation behaviour.From such an analysis,we should be able to state on the impact of thefine increase both on non-compliance and driving demand.Afirst determinant seems to be the low degree of monitoring,control and repression.Thefigures are explicit. In Paris,out of100cars in parking offence,9arefined (Dupuy,1995).In Lyon,7.6%of the offences arefined (Lyon Parc Auto,1994)and6%of the vehicles not paying for the parking fee arefined.Thosefigures seem to be explained by the25%fall in the number of tickets per place and per month for parking offences in France between1985 and1995.The decrease seems to be explained by the20% increase in the number of places per traffic warden who enforced parking controls over the same period(Perrie`re, 1997).Therefore,it seems easy to connect the importance of parking non-compliance with an enforcement effort decrease.Then,the answer which is generally given to the question of the main determinant of parking meter violation is the weakness of the enforcement effort.As far as the travel policy is concerned,the argument is the following.If the aim is to fight against parking offence to ensure the efficiency of parking pricing,it is advisable to reinforce the enforcement effort,in particular the amount of thefine,so that the driver may think he had better pay for the parking fee.However,Adiv and Wang(1987)underline the lack of knowledge concerning the individual behaviour as regards parking meter.In particular,they underline the lack of analyses dealing specifically with the elasticity of the offending parking demand with respect to both parking fee and enforcement effort.Consequently,no one can state that the behaviour of an individual faced with an increase in the enforcement effort is systematically to comply with parking regulations.This is the reason why May(1982)claims for a better knowledge of the individuals’reactions to the enforcement effort so as to adapt repression measures which are compatible with the aims of travel management. Moreover,there are no studies stating that an increase in the enforcement effort has a positive effect on car use.The main problem is that there are no analyses dealing with the relation between parking non-compliance,enforcement effort and road congestion.4.The increase in the enforcement effort:not reallya good answerThefinancial loss derived from the offences for the parking supply manager justifiesfighting against parking non-compliance.According to a report by the French Ministry of Transportation,the average rate of payment of the parking fee is about200–900h per place over a year in French cities(DRAST,1998),while well respected,non-free parking should generate1200h paid per place per year. Half the parking supply is considered to be profitable only (Bernard and Carles,1999).According to the authors,it seems urgent to increase the enforcement effort.Yet,several remarks challenge this logic.First of all, there is no reason to think that the criterion of the parking profitability may be a sufficient argument.Admittedly,it is reasonable to advance that parking managers have a private advantage in the parking supply being profitable.Never-theless,in economic terms,achieving a higher profitability is not a relevant argument to conclude that the increase in the enforcement effort has a positive impact on the traffic calming policy.The second remark comes from a comparison which can be established between the effect of a parking fee increase and an enforcement effort increase.The theoretical results of the Glazer and Niskanen(1992)queuing model show that a parking fee increase may cause an increase in road congestion.Indeed,the authors show that a parking fee increase induces each driver to park for a shorter time.So, the increase in the parking charge contributes to a rise in the parking supply use contributingfinally to create an additional parking supply.Thereby the parking charge increase means heavier traffic.In the same way,nothing justifies claiming that an enforcement effort increase automatically results in reducing car use.Nevertheless,assuming that parking meter non-compli-ance is actually explained by the enforcement effort decrease,Perrie`re(1998)affirms that thefine level is not a sufficient incentive for the parking pricing compliance. Perrie`re(1997)notices that the on-street parkingfine in France was equivalent to10parked hours in1995while it was equivalent to20parked hours in1985.So,according to Perrie`re(1998),considering the mechanismfixing thefine level for the Parisian transit system—24times the average travel fare—the same logic should govern the calculation of thefine for parking meter violation.From11V,the parkingR.Petiot/Transport Policy11(2004)399–411 402fine should pass to30V—i.e.24times the1h parking fee in France.This statement seems really questionable as there is no reason for comparing the parking market with the Parisian transit market.For example,it does not make sense to conclude that the elasticity of offences to enforcement effort is identical on the two markets.Considering the general arguments justifying thefine increase,it should be acknowledged that nothing actually proves that such a policy is economically relevant.Without a rigorous analysis of the parking violation behaviour,it cannot be concluded that thefine increase deters parking violation and calms traffic automatically.Consequently, given the role of parking in travel demand,it is necessary to deal with the question of the offending parking enforcement with the analysis of the link between parking non-compliance and travel demand.5.The analysis of the parking meter violation behaviour: some unexpected results5.1.A parking meter violation modelIn the face the deadlock of parking enforcement with regards to the aims of travel policy,a theoretical representation of the non-compliance behaviour may lead to some sort of conclusion.The aim is to understand the individual non-compliance behaviour to improve enforce-ment effort.This analysis rests on a parking behaviour model(Arnott and Rowse,1999)presented in Appendix1.Although this model does not deal with the question of non-compliance,it formalises the link between parking conditions and travel demand.It shows how a parking pricing that internalises parking congestion changes the structure of travel demand.1 Such a formalisation is a coherent theoretical framework for integrating the question of parking meter violation.Formally,the model shows the existence of a social optimum of parking.In the case of low parking congestion, the implementation of parking pricing decentralises the social optimum by internalising parking congestion. Besides,the model shows that there is an impact of parking conditions—i.e.congestion and parking fee—on modal share and travel demand.More precisely,in the case of very high parking congestion,the equilibrium fee does not decentralise the social optimum.Arnott and Rowse(1999)then consider a parking fee variation.In this high congestion state,a parking fee increase reduces congestion in such a way that it paradoxically favours car use confirming then the results of the Glazer and Niskanen(1992)analysis.A development of the Arnott and Rowse(1999)model founded on the economics of crime(Becker,1968)integrates the parking meter non-compliance behaviour(Petiot,2000, 2002).Briefly,the driver chooses whether to pay or not to pay for the parking fee when he parks.If he does not pay,he faces the risk of a monetary sanction.If he is controlled,he pays for afine which deteriorates the welfare he gets.If he pays for the parking fee,he gets the welfare produced by his parking minus the fee.From the agent’s viewpoint,the model assumes therefore that the offending parking is a rational economic choice.A traditional cost–benefit calculation between the payment and the non-payment of the parking fee determines the agent’s choice.The agent rationally chooses the option which gets him the maximum of welfare. He compares the expected benefit he gets when he chooses not to pay with the certain benefit he gets when he chooses to pay for the parking fee.He chooses the option which curtails his expected travel cost.The purpose of the sanction is to make thefined offender bear the cost of the externality of congestion he generates when he parks but which he refuses to bear when not paying.Either the agent pays for the optimal parking fee and takes part in the internalisation of the parking externality process or he offends and does not contribute to this process if he is not controlled.When the driver is convicted guilty,he must pay for afine whose level internalises the externality of congestion he generates while parking.When paying for thefine,the agent bears all the external costs he generates while parking,proportionally to the probability of being controlled.For the purposes of analysis,we make a number of hypotheses:†Parking is assumed to be legal.The illegality involved is merely the non-payment of parking.It is interesting to see as to what extent failure to pay parking fees directly reduces the ability of parking fees to restrict car use by modifying modal split and the level of travel.In this case, thefine has the same function for the person who does not pay the parking fee as the parking fee does for the person who pays—i.e.it makes them bear the social costs their travel generates;†When apprehended a non-payer will automatically be prosecuted.The situation where the non-payer is apprehended without being prosecuted is not considered, neither is the situation where the non-payer is prosecuted only after being apprehended several times.The probability of being apprehended and the probability of being punished are therefore the same;†The duration of stay without paying the fee is the same as the length of time required to perform the activity.Non-paying parking involving a different time from that required to perform the activity is therefore not1In the Arnott and Rowse(1999)model,a commuter chooses betweentravel or not from home to destination in order to realise an activity.Hechooses to travel comparing the total travel cost(which depends on the totaltravel time)to the utility provided by the activity.If he decides to travel,hechooses to walk or drive with respect to the total travel time for each modeof transport.The total travel time by car is equal to the travel time(including the time for searching a parking place)and the parking time.Thehigher the parking congestion,the longer it takes tofind a parking place.So,the total travel time by car increases with respect to the parking congestion.R.Petiot/Transport Policy11(2004)399–411403considered,and neither is the situation where drivers park for longer than they have paid for.When the driver parks he only considers the duration of stay necessary to perform his activity.The decision to pay or not to pay the parking fee is made by considering the probability of being punished solely during this time;†The probability of punishment remains constant over the time it takes to perform the activity .It does not depend on the duration of stay to the extent that the driver parks throughout this period and only during this period.When making a decision,the driver therefore makes a calculation on the basis of the duration of stay required for the activity.The probability of being apprehended is discreet over this period and it is assumed to be known by the driver.Furthermore,the fine is a lump sum.The case of a fine that depends on the duration of stay is not considered.This conforms with reality and simplifies the calculations;†The user’s choice does not depend on the cost of enforcement .The purpose of the model is not to determine an optimum level of parking meter violations and enforcement,but,less ambitiously,to analyse the behaviour of those committing parking meter violations;†The model only considers the behaviour of a risk-neutral driver.It is obvious that analysis should consider the heterogeneity of driver behaviours with regard to risk.However,the purpose of this paper is to model the behaviour of the risk-neutral driver sufficiently accu-rately to provide a basis for future developments which will deal with different levels of risk aversion.Let A denote the ‘fee non-payment’decision.For this action,the states of nature are ‘apprehended and punished’and ‘not apprehended’.The consequences of these states of nature are,respectively,‘obtaining the satisfaction provided by parking net of the fine’and ‘obtaining the satisfaction provided by parking’.A discreet random variable Q j links the two random events,Q 1‘being apprehended and punished’and Q 2‘not being apprehended ’.It ascribes what is assumed to be a fixed probability distribution of being apprehended to the user q j,j Z 1,2such that 0%q j %1where Pj q j Z 1:Within the Arnott and Rowse (1999)model framework,if the driver does not pay the parking fee,the mean monetary benefit derived from the trip is expressed byq ðb K F ðð xA K ~x A Þ= x A ÞÞC ð1K q Þb ;where x A is the maxi-mum mean travel distance accepted by non-payers,~xA is the maximum walking distance accepted by non-payers,b is the monetary benefit derived from the trip and F is the level of the fine.The first term of the expression is the mean benefit derived from the decision not to pay the fee when the driver is punished.In this case,the satisfaction is equal to the gross gain provided by the activity at the destination minus the fine.The fine is weighed by the proportion of trips madewhich actually generate parking—i.e.ðð xA K ~x A Þ= x A Þthe modal share of driving.The mean satisfaction of thepunished non-payer is weighted by the probability q of being prosecuted.The second term expresses the benefit derived from the decision to park without paying the fee if the driver is not apprehended.This is the mean level of satisfaction of the unpunished non-payer,that is to say the gross gain generated by the trip,weighed by the probability (1K q )of not being prosecuted.The user derives no additional satisfaction from the pleasure of not paying the fee.The benefit received by the unpunished non-payer is the gross benefit derived from the trip.When the behaviour of a risk-neutral driver is repre-sented by a linear increasing utility function of the type U (x )Z x ,the non-payer maximises the trip’s hourly expected utility,which is expressed as follows:max x A ;~x A ;d A EU A Z qb K F ðð x A K ~x A = x A ÞL A C ð1K q ÞbL A;(1)where F O 0,and L A is the total travel time of non-payers.If we state that D h L A xA and X A Z b K F ðð x A K ~x A Þ= x A Þ;d A is the distance the non-paying driver cruises to find a parking space,T 1is the travel time if the trip is made by foot and T 2is the travel time if the trip is made by car (see Appendix 1),the first order conditions are as follows:v EU A v ~x A Z 1D A q F K X ALA ðT 1K T 2ÞC ð1K q ÞK bL A ðT 1K T 2Þ !Z

time spent walking to the destination does not exceed the opportunity cost of making the trip by car.We shall identify certain theoretical states of congestion for which an increase in the parking fine leads to a reduction in satisfaction which is smaller than the increase in satisfaction derived from the reduction in the parking timeR.Petiot /Transport Policy 11(2004)399–411404。
