Draft of new regulations for paid parking"},"content":{"rendered":"

Specify Ministry of Municipalities and Housing<\/a><\/strong> A new regulatory framework for paid parking within the urban area of the cities, including basic rates ranging from 2 to 3 riyals per hour, free waiting periods, as well as exemptions for national and religious occasions, and regulations to regulate vehicle towing and violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draft regulations aim to regulate the use of Parking<\/a><\/strong>Improving traffic flow and increasing the efficiency of utilizing available spaces, taking into account the needs of the population and commercial activities. The document was prepared in coordination with the Saudi Center for Competitiveness and Business, as part of efforts to develop the parking system and enhance the satisfaction of beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exemptions for national and religious occasions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The controls included exempting street parking from fees on the first day of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, as well as the National Day and Foundation Day. Emergency vehicles and security vehicles were also exempt from fees while performing their duties, with no exemptions being granted to government agencies or Secretariat staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free periods and variable rates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The parking fee is based on a variable pricing system, which allows for price adjustments automatically based on levels of demand and peak times, with the possibility of changing them during seasons and events. According to the draft, street parking users receive 15 minutes free when starting parking, along with an additional 10 minutes after the ticket expires to allow time to leave the site.
The standalone and automated positions grant users 20 minutes free before the start of calculating the first hourly fee, with any additional time from the hour being calculated as a full hour. The controls allow the departments to charge individuals for subscriptions for weekly, monthly, and annual periods, according to the available positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free permits for residents of the neighborhoods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The draft has established a managed parking mechanism aimed at limiting the impact of paid parking on neighboring residential neighborhoods by issuing free permanent or temporary permits to owners of residential units and their tenants and visitors. This mechanism also provides options for long-term parking at reasonable prices, achieving a balance between regulating paid parking and meeting the needs of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

250 riyals for light vehicles and 1250 for heavy vehicles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The financial countermeasure for withdrawing infringing vehicles has been set at 250 riyals for light vehicles, and 1250 riyals for heavy vehicles. The daily reservation fee is 20 riyals for light vehicles and 50 riyals for heavy vehicles. The draft stipulates compensation for the vehicle owner and a fine for the investor in the event of an irregular withdrawal process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical and operational requirements for the positions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before implementing the paid parking system, controls require the preparation of technical, traffic, and economic studies that include occupancy rates, the capacity of parking spaces, and long-term parking patterns, along with measuring the system\u2019s impact on traffic flow, business activity, and the availability of alternatives. The draft requires investors to provide smart payment devices that comply with approved specifications, and to make available digital payment methods that include electronic wallets, while bearing the costs of smart parking systems and wireless payment devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The requirements also include the creation of a guarantee account to deposit revenues, the provision of cameras and sensors to display occupancy data in real time, the installation of signage to show vacant seats, and the sending of alerts to users before tickets expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operational requirements include equipping trucks to tow vehicles and providing dedicated areas for booking, achieving a satisfaction rate for beneficiaries of at least 85%, as well as providing qualified staff wearing a uniform. The controls prohibit any commercial activity within the parking lots without a license, or the relinquishment of the contract to another investor without prior approval. In the event of payment equipment failure and the absence of a digital alternative, the beneficiary is exempt from paying fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated control of violations and the distribution of competencies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The system relies on vehicle license plate recognition cameras to monitor and document violations electronically, thereby reducing reliance on human oversight. Investors\u2019 operations are also subject to digital performance indicators that include the level of reliance on digital payment, the rate of erroneous violations, and the speed of response.
The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing is responsible for formulating general policies, approving essential contractual amendments, and determining performance indicators, in addition to studying the exemption of taxis in areas where passengers board and alight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In turn, the secretariats determine the locations of parking spaces and conclude investment contracts, allocate spaces for taxis and transportation applications, and electric vehicles and people with disabilities.
The draft confirms the right of the departments to take the necessary measures to ensure the continuity of service, while allowing the right to object to violations in accordance with the approved regulations. The scope of application of the controls includes various types of vehicles, including public and private transport vehicles, taxis, diplomatic vehicles, temporary vehicles, and export vehicles, as well as motorized bicycles and historical vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
