Zoned parking system from now officially on the bottom Dorćolu

Zoned parking system at lower Dorcol officially today began to be applied. The introduction of zoning, the move-lined streets Swimming pools, Tsar Dusan, George Washington, Despot Stefan, Cvijiceva, Poenkareovom, Venizelos, Svetozar Miletic and the Danube, was initiated by the municipality of Stari grad, at the request of citizens.

- In this zone, with more than 2,500 parking spaces, parking is limited to three hours. It does not apply to residents and to those who have company headquarters in the area. The system favors tenants, good traffic flow and improve safety of pedestrians - said Boban Kovačević, JKP 'Parking Servis'.

City Secretary for Transport Dragoljub Đakonović pointed out that in the central part of the city has more than 13,000 marked parking spaces, of which 82 per cent of the general parking on the streets, 14 percent of the garages in and around four per cent in isolated, separate parking lots.

- A new parking regime in this part of town is not restricted to tenants, but it is for everyone else. That is why I hope that those who have so far left their vehicles longer in this part of town to be discouraged and to use public transport, and for what we stand for. The system of one-way streets and marked parking places, and precisely defined area for pedestrians, introduced the line in this part of the city - said Đakonović.

Tenants who have permanent residence in that part of town, and having a car on their behalf, are entitled to a privileged parking ticket and parking without a time limit for the price of 416 dinars per month. Privileged tickets can be purchased at the JKP 'Parking Servis' Street Antiques Novak, 22, weekdays from 7 to 21 hours and Saturdays from 7 am to 14 pm. To purchase tickets privileged must be accompanied by a photocopy of identity card and licenses (with the original). The parking ticket is not valid in the green zone in other parts of the city, but only to the extent that users preferred online lives. For those who do not have a privileged ticket, in the third zone parking time is limited to three hours and is paid by the hour at a cost of 23 dinars, as well as all payments will be accepted by SMS to the number 9113, parking tickets to be purchased at kiosks or electronic parking ticket bought from. Price monthly privileged ticket for legal entities and entrepreneurs amounts to 2,987 dinars.

In addition to introducing parking zone at the bottom Dorćolu also changed the mode of transport and introduced a system of one-way streets. In this way facilitated the movement of all traffic participants and speeding up the flow of traffic through the narrow streets Dorćolska. Before the introduction of parking zones, citizens who live in the city center had a lot of trouble to find a free place, because a large number of people coming in daily business center. Study of the Institute of Traffic Engineering in Belgrade, conducted before the introduction of zones in Belgrade, showed that in the heart of the city 77 percent of parked vehicles endanger the safety of pedestrians and other road users. This led to a reduction in travel speed, harmed the quality of urban public transport and prevented the smooth parking citizens residing in the city. With the introduction of zones, these problems are solved.
