Hanoi (VNA) - Hanoi’s 197 Steering Committee (tasked with the implementationof traffic order and safety) has asked the municipal People’s Committee tomanage public parking zones on some qualified streets.
Thedecision was taken to solve an urgent shortage of parking zones during thecity’s campaign to free up pavements and return them to pedestrians.
Accordingto a survey by the 197 Steering Committee, there are 87 streets in the citythat can accommodate car parking zones in accordance with Governmentregulations.
Ofthese, 35 have widths of above 14m, and 52 streets have widths from 7.5m to14m.
Accordingto the committee’s proposal, the city’s Department of Transport and police willmanage chargeable public parking areas along these roads.
Two-wayparking, close to the edge of the road, will be applied on two-way streets withwidths of above 14m, while one-way parking on streets with widths of between7.5 and 14m.
Toimplement the plan, the 197 Steering Committee guided concerned offices tore-examine and research loopholes in traffic and road management, as well asprovide advice for the Government and National Assembly to amend and supplementlegal documents related to road infrastructure.
