Parking on the cultural and sports road without charging is still difficult.
In July this year, in order to alleviate parking difficulties, Jiaozhou Municipal Development and Reform Bureau and other departments jointly issued a notice of the city's parking lots and roadside parking spaces, since September 1, most of the parking spaces began to pile charges, and have been charged for more than two months. From free to charged, from disorderly to orderly, does "charging" solve part of the parking problem? Qilu Evening News Qilu One Point reporter conducted a field visit.

<b>Parking spaces on the toll section are empty, and free parking spaces are difficult to find</b>
On the morning of November 2, the reporter visited the parking conditions of Wenxiang Road, Hanlin Road, Wenchangge Road and other sections of Jiaozhou City, which are all north-south and parallel from east to west. The reporter saw at the scene that there are parking charging piles on both sides of Wenxiang Road and Wenchangge Road, but there are almost no vehicles parked in these toll spaces, and there are a small number of vehicles parked on Hanlin Road, which also has charging piles. "I don't want to stop here either, mainly because the free parking lots in the mall are full." A citizen at the scene who was parking told reporters. Following the guidance of the citizens, the reporter noticed that next to Hanlin Road is a Liqun shopping mall, and the free parking lot of the mall has been parked to the full, and some citizens have "helpless" to park their cars on the paid parking spaces.
Unlike the other three roads, there is no toll pile on the side of The Road, so the on-street parking spaces are "full", although it is not peak hours, it is still difficult to find parking spaces. "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid harm, and the roads next to them are charged, only this road does not charge, and there is certainly no place to stop." A teacher at the Fourth Experimental Primary School in Jiaozhou City, next to the Cultural and Sports Road, told reporters.
<b>Parking on the side of the road in residential areas is charged, and the public complains</b>
According to the "Notice on Announcing the Price of Parking Services in Operating Parking Lots Price of Government-Priced Parking Lots in Our City" jointly issued by the Jiaozhou Municipal Development and Reform Bureau and other departments in July, the original intention of parking charges is to use price leverage to mediate the supply and demand relationship of parking spaces to alleviate urban parking difficulties and urban traffic congestion, but parking charging piles are still set up in some sections where parking difficulties are not difficult, which has also become a slot for citizens.
Taking Wenxiang Road as an example, the reporter observed that the road stretches from Qingdao Road in the north to Hong kong Road in the south, with a length of only a few kilometers, and there are no government agencies and units that need a lot of parking on both sides except for the Zhongfang Garden, The Xiangshan Mansion, the Sanlihe Garden and the Hanlin Courtyard. "There used to be parking spaces on this road, and the parking pressure was not large, because there were not enough parking spaces in the community, and many residents parked their cars on the side of the road, but now after the charging pile is set up, there is no one to park during the day, so many parking spaces are idle, I don't know if it is a waste of public resources." Mr. Geng, a resident of the Xiangshan Mansion, said that when Jiaozhou learns from Shanghai and Shenzhen, it should learn its advanced management methods, rather than just how to charge fees, otherwise it will be a good thing.
<b>The parking fee was paid, and the parking was still difficult</b>
Compared with the parking spaces on Wenxiang Road and Wenchangge Road, parking spaces on some roads near government units are very tight. On Xinglin Road, which is close to the Jiaozhou Municipal Government Office Building, the reporter saw vehicles shoulder to shoulder, although the parking spaces on both sides of the road are also paid parking spaces, but it is obvious that the citizens parking here are not so "calculating". "Improvement? There is no feeling about it, anyway, I couldn't stop getting off the car before, and now I still can't stop, it's almost the same. When the reporter asked whether the road parking situation had improved after the roadside parking was charged, Mr. Li, a resident of Shifu Mingyuan next to Xinglin Road, said.
In addition, the reporter also visited some parking lots and on-street parking spaces on Shanghai Road, Ziwei Road, Xiamen Road that had parking problems before charging, and found that whether it was charged or free, the previous parking difficult sections are still difficult to park, and there has been no obvious improvement.
<b>Reporter's Note: The parking space is empty, where did the car go? </b>
It is true that smart city management is the trend of the times, but how to manage it is a science. For example, Qingdao city is full of one-way lines for vehicles, but Jiaozhou, as a county-level city under Qingdao City, does not have a single line. The answer is simple, at the current stage of the development of Jiaozhou City, there is no need to use "one-way" to alleviate traffic pressure.
From the overall point of view, how much parking pressure is there in Jiaozhou City, is it a local or overall pressure? This is a question with different positions and different answers, and it is difficult to say the standard answer. The truth is that after the start of the toll on September 1, a large number of vehicles have "fled" the parking spaces they are accustomed to, leaving the parking spaces with nothing but embarrassingly pestle-ridden toll piles, so where did these cars go? The answer is simple, the car must have found a new parking space, and it must be free.
The original purpose of setting up pile charges was to regulate the supply and demand relationship of parking spaces, but if the fee is collected and the supply and demand relationship cannot be regulated, then its significance is afraid that only the fee is left.
