  • Parking Problems and Creative Solutions
    AN OVERVIEW OF COMMON PARKING ISSUES, PARKING MANAGEMENT OPTIONS, AND CREATIVE SOLUTIONS PREPARED FOR: CITY OF PASADENA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AUGUST 2003 Banerjee & Associates Pasadena Parking August 2003 AN OVERVIEW OF COMMON PARKING ISSUES, PARKING MANAGEMENT OPTIONS, AND CREATIVE SOLUTIONS Prepared for City of Pasadena Department of Transportation Report prepared by Banerjee & Associates Parking is a key component of Pasadena’s transportation program. The City has addressed parking problems associated with educational institutions, entertainment uses, religious institutions, commercial activities, special events, and most recently the opening of Gold Line Light Rail service. Experience with such programs underscores the need for the City to foster ongoing coordination and cooperation among businesses, institutions, residents, and governmental agencies in order to address parking needs in a collaborative manner. The Department of Transportation is conducting a more focused review of parking management programs including options for use in residential neighborhoods. The objective of this review is to create, in collaboration with the community, a toolbox of parking management solutions that can be used throughout the City to address parking problems. This information will be incorporated into a forthcoming community handbook on the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. This briefing material is intended to support and encourage public dialogue on parking solutions. BANERJEE & ASSOCIATES Pasadena Parking August 2003 COMMON PARKING ISSUES With the high percentage of vehicle ownership in the United States, parking has become a conflicting and confusing situation for a number of people. Whether at an airport, bus stations and shopping centers, problems with parking are an everyday occurrence. Lack of accessible parking can hurt local business and decrease the quality of life for residents.

  • 1 Introduction “Road Rage” Is a Potentially Dangerous Phenomenon
    1 Introduction “Road rage” is a potentially dangerous phenomenon that, given our individual proximity to driving or riding in automobiles, has broad ranging personal and societal impacts. As such, road rage has recently been the subject of significant public and media attention, and sensational stories about “road rage” fill the newspapers (Carter, 2007; Eckinger, 2007; Fumento, 1998; Richmond, 2007; Thompson, 2007), magazines (Best & Furedi, 2001; A. Ferguson, 1998; Jenson, 2007; Liu, 2006) and television news ("Best and worst cities for road rage.," 2006; "Miami Road Rage Fight," 2006; "Police: Man Pointed Shotgun At Car In Road Rage Incident," 2007; "Road Rage rears its head," 2006). Pervasive public interest in “road rage” has led to a proliferation of websites and blogs that attempt to serve a variety of functions from helping upset drivers vent their anger ("AboveAverageDriver.com"; "Road Rage - A blog about driving in Houston"; "RoadRagers.com") to electronic vigilantism in which users can report the locations, car makes, and license plate numbers of offending drivers ("PlateRage.com"; "Platewire.com"). Another website offers books of flip-cards with large print—and mostly obscene—statements that tell drivers how their road behavior is affecting the card-waving driver ("RoadRageCards.com"). Road rage is not unique to America and has been the topic of a great deal of media, research, and government attention in numerous countries across the 2 globe including the United Kingdom, the Philippines, India, Israel, China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Australia (Alave, 2007; Best & Furedi, 2001; Brewer, 2000; James & Nahl, 2000a; Liu, 2006; Mdletshe, 2007; Muhammad, 2007; Shanthi, 2007; Yagil, 2001).

  • Mobile CCTV Enforcement - Frequently Asked Questions
    Mobile CCTV Enforcement - Frequently Asked Questions What is a CCTV Enforcement Vehicle? A CCTV enforcement vehicle (or “camera car”) is an ordinary car fitted with equipment which enables it to record parking contraventions. It has a camera fitted on the top and the Council’s logo on the side. Both the car and the vehicle must be approved for this purpose by the Secretary of State for Transport, and Gateshead Council has the necessary approvals. Where can it be used? The camera car can be used to enforce any parking restriction which is visible from the vehicle and where an observation period is not required. Government guidance says that it should only be used where “enforcement is difficult or sensitive and CEO enforcement is not practical”. We will use it mainly on “school keep clear” zig-zag markings outside schools and in mandatory bus stop clearways, but it may also be used in areas covered by a loading ban. Why can’t you just use officers on foot? The Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers will still carry out all parking enforcement in our car parks as well as most on street enforcement. But it is not practical to use officers on foot to cover all of the Borough’s schools and bus stops because of the nature of those parking problems and the distances involved. When will the car be used? As with other parking enforcement activities, the Council will not be advertising in advance of each visit to a particular location. It may be used at any time when Gateshead Council – Transport Strategy Service Page 1 08/2013 parking enforcement is carried out.
