The vibrant city of Mumbai, home to over 12 Million people, is the financial capital of the country. In order to improve the quality of life, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) wishes to improve the basic infrastructure.The city has seen a significant increase in the private vehicles over last few years. It has become increasingly difficult for citizens to find public parking places while they are on the move. In order to ease the parking woes of the citizens, MCGM proposes to adopt and implement a new parking policy. The new parking policy elaborates on-street parking (residential parking, parking near schools, and parking for tourist places) and off-street parking. Moreover, MCGM also envisages web based parking to be implemented and issue receipts using hand held devices.

As a pilot project, it is proposed to implement the parking policy in ‘A’ ward after receiving the necessary approvals.

Suggestions are invited from the public at large for improvement of the proposed policy.

The draft policy can be seen here: https://mygov.in/frontendgeneral/pdf/parking-policy-20122014.pdf

1. Designated Parking Slots with electronic meter and electronic payment. Start with congested areas like Nariman Point and then scale up. 2. Any cars outside the slot with driver inside or not, must be fined hugely. Increase the penalty amount to deterrant levels. 3. Offer Incentive to Traffic Police for booking the offenders. 4. To avoid the misuse of authority of Traffic Police, and to settle any dispute, should collect either photo evidence or Video Evidence with easy to use cameras.

In Jaipur, the Shopkeepers park their SUVs on the M.I.Road for the whole day.! How can you improve on this behavior unless you make a policy of Public Transport ? Let SUVs ply in Sports Fields only. They only occupy valuable space in the city and intimidate others on the road. Anybody seen driving single in a SUV must be asked to get down and use the bus, OR carry other people in the big car.

While Talking about Mumbai, what stops us from implimenting all these best practices in the other cities. Let us have a Unified National Policy for Traffic, Rules, License and Parking so that the newer cities that are upcoming, can have the provisions already inbuilt. It is not necessary to reinvent the Zero everytime. We can adopt Traffic systems from other countries free of cost. Afterall Indians deserve the best. Don't we ? Thanks.

For parking on local roads,parking is mainly seen near hawkers or shops in market areas. First of all entry on private vehicles in sabzi market and street selling areas should be prohibited, there are already hawkers n sabzi sellers sitting on footpath so no place for people to walk,in that people bring cars and even park at places which disturbs the smooth flow of vehicles and also causes traffic jam,instead not full day but some peak should ban private vehicles in such areas
