This paper describes a study of reactions of motorists given a hypothetical increase of parking tariffs and the factors that influence these reactions. The reactions studied concerned changes in destination, transport mode and parking lot choice in the context of shopping. It was also possible that the parking measure did not change the travel and parking behaviour of motorists. If the parking tariff is increased for a specific parking lot, the majority of the motorists will look for another parking lot or will not change their travel and parking behaviour. If the increase of tariff is implemented on all parking lots in the surroundings of a destination, most of the motorists will not change their travel behaviour. The most important factors that influence the reactions of motorist were `the amount the tariffs increased', and `length of parking duration'. (A)
