Abstract

In many cities, particularly within the Central Business District (CBD), parking and parking related problems have been deteriorating with the increase of city traffic and parking demand. Similar to other part of the world, cities in Saudi Arabia also face the challenge in managing parking within their CBDs and even residential areas. Consequently, traffic congestion, parking and other negative impacts induced by the use of motor vehicles are putting pressures on transport systems and the principles of town planning. This paper attempts to address the importance of parking control and management for countries such as Saudi Arabia. The case in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia is used as an example to illustrate the common concerns and parking policies. As a result of the study, suggestions on parking control and policy are presented. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E211825.
