Parking Problem

Parking Problems

Parking in our country has many problems such as people that live in towers like Khalidiya and Hamdan street. There are buildings which have 24 floors and parking for just 10 cars. There are some people who have more than one car so they must park in a wrong place which causes a traffic problem and parking problem and sometimes people from other towers come and park their cars in the other parking towers. Another problem is when shops in Abu Dhabi don’t have enough parking for their customers like some shops have a lot of visitors and a few parking spaces so they must park on the main road to enter the shop which causes a traffic problem. (Khalidiya and Hamdan streets .(2011)). Another problem is when there is no parking for employees that want to enter their work so in some places such as the Etisalat building they must park in a wrong place to get to their work which causes a traffic and parking problem for customers and they will come late to work which will make the work slow for customers and their managers. Third, college and universities have also parking problems where a lot of people come to college and there is parking for less people so some students must park on the grass and some of them park behind each other which causes problems for other people to get out from their parking.  

Possible solutions are that in Khalidiya and Hamdan streets, if towers make underground parking it will be very good and there will be a lot of parking for all people  in the tower and there will be no traffic problem. Second solution: shops in Abu Dhabi should do a lot of parking like they must make more parking spaces or a underground parking .Third solution: Etisalat should make parking for their customers and their employees to make their employees come to work on time because they will have their own people and nobody will be late for work. Colleges and universities must make more parking or make a building for students to park in.

The Mawaqif also solved a lot of problems such as anyone who wants to park must pay a fee of 2 Dhs of standard parking max 24 hours and 3dhs for premium parking for max 4 hours. It is good that people will go and come on time to let others use the parking and now there is a lot of space to park in Abu Dhabi. This company is making sure people who do not pay for the parking will get a fine of about 500dhs. (Mawaqif  .2011.)

In Virginia Beach they have a problem parking for the ones who want to go to the beach, restaurants and the homes. There is no enough parking for them all so the city is planning to do a space near the beach where people can park their cars there. (Parking woes sink plans for Oceanfront club 'Eden2011)
