Build parking plazas!
The roads in most commercial areas of our cities are constantly clogged as there is no adequate parking arrangement, and therefore cars are parked on the roads, blocking lanes and causing traffic jams. It is shocking that so far, no city government has come up with a serious, viable plan to solve this problem. One solution, which has been successfully employed in large cities across the world, is the construction of parking plazas at strategic commercial locations. The city government can either outsource their construction and maintenance, or build them itself. Parking spots would be equipped with digital metres, which would charge by the hour. Thus these plazas, while reducing the chaos on the roads, will end up generating a handsome amount for the city’s exchequer. One hopes that the city managers and planners in Pakistan are alive to this possibility, because we need these plazas urgently!
