Vugar Bayramly : The price for parking does not meet the solvency of the population

BAKU/23.04.14/TURAN : Intelligent Transport Management Center of Azerbaijan (NIIM) presented the Baku City Executive Power proposal to establish the temporary capital of 288 parking spaces. This is with reference to the press service said NIIM in the official press .

Recall that the fight against indiscriminate parking again intensified after remarks by President Ilham Aliyev at the April meeting of the Cabinet.

According to the chairman of the Center for Economic and Social Development Vugar Bayramli disappearance illegally parked cars from the central streets a little easier problem of traffic jams . But the problem of parking , creating congestion, has a purely economic reasons.

" The fact that the underground parking in the city center and high applied excluding solvency of the population . Works 8 hours a day and 22 working days per month citizen spends on parking cars from 70 to 90 manat. If you add here and work on Saturdays then programming passes for 10 manats , which corresponds to one quarter of the average wage ( 430 AZN ) in the country," said Bayramly .

In this regard Bayramly considers appropriate to reduce the price for the first hour of parking to 30 gyapigov . Also it is advisable to introduce a system of benefits for those who work in connection to the city center is constantly in these parking lots , increase free parking time by half to 30 minutes, and finally begin to use weekly or monthly parking cards in places .

In the center of the capital is a number of underground parking. Two of them are large . One of them is for the Heydar Aliyev Palace , where both can park 4.5 thousand cars , and the other under the 1760 Liberty Square locations . Price for the first hour of parking is standard one manat, from 2 to 5 hours - 2 manat, from 5 to 12 hours -3 AZN, for 12-24 hours - 6 manat. In the parking lot behind the palace of Heydar Aliyev applicable fee - 12 hours daily stays AZN 60 per month.

Other underground and multi-storey car parks in are the center of the prices above. Outside the center underground parking system is not developed.

At some point in the capital they began to evacuate to the penalty area even cars parked outside the property of their respective owners. German experience in this matter may be instructive for Azerbaijan. The fact is that in this European country to get a parking space near the house where you are registered, you go to the town hall and pay 20 euros and they give you a special sticker confirming that you have the right to leave the car outside the house. A year later, the validity of the stickers is extended. Of course, for the same 20 euros. At the same time every day , inspectors inspect all vehicles parked outside the house , and in the absence of labels, the owner is issued a fine of 40 euros. - 15B-
