Reduced free parking duration in Krasnodar to merely 5 minutes
In the Russian city of Krasnodar, free parking durations on certain paid parking lots are set to change. As reported by the city administration's press service, the free parking period will soon be reduced from 15 to 5 minutes.
This adjustment will be applicable exclusively to parking lots without barriers. Alongside this modification, the time permitted for drivers to vacate a paid parking lot following the expiration of the paid duration will also be reduced to 5 minutes.
Officials at the transport and road management department cite growing parking issues in the city center as the primary reason behind the changes. Announcing the alterations, they noted an apparent trend among motorists exploiting the existing free parking period multiple times, either by paying minimal fees or not paying at all. The reduced free time aims to combat these practices.
The details of the resolution modifying the time limits have already been drafted. Once coordinated and published, the changes will come into force.
Krasnodar currently boasts 270 municipal parking lots, providing a total of 11,645 spaces. As the city strives to better manage its parking system for optimal efficiency, the reduction in free parking time reflects an effort to regulate usage and improve turnover of parking spots.
