Berlin counts 1.2 million parking spaces - new card reveals details!

Berlin, Deutschland - nag/nag editors -

Berlin, the pulsating capital of Germany, has an impressive number of around 1.2 million parking spaces that are available on public roads and squares. This information was recently published by the Senate Department after comprehensive data collection has been completed. It is particularly noteworthy that only around 230,000 of these parking spaces are within the S-Bahn ring, as was announced over a year ago, and more than half of them are reserved for residents, which means that other drivers have to pay for it, as rbb24 reported.

The new survey is not just a mere number play, but a real progress for urban planning. With the help of cameras, the parking spaces in the entire city area have now also been recorded, and this information is open to the public on an interactive card. Drivers can now easily view the address, parking times and possible fees for each parking lot, which makes it easier to find the parking space.

A step into the future of urban planning

Traffic Senator Ute Bonde (CDU) emphasized the importance of this mapping for traffic and air residual planning. "The data set supports the traffic and urban planners in their daily work to make traffic more environmentally friendly," she said. This is particularly important because elaborate counts were previously necessary to determine the number of parking spaces in a certain quarter. Now the planners can access precise data that will help you to better understand and control traffic flows.

The publication of this data is an important step to cope with the challenges of urban traffic. The city administration hopes that these measures will not only improve the parking situation, but also to reduce traffic jams and to improve air quality.

The details at a glance

The interactive card, which is available at viz.berlin.de , offers an abundance of information. Drivers can not only see where there are parking spaces, but also which fees are incurred and at what times the parking spaces can be used. This could be of great benefit, especially for commuters and visitors to Berlin, because they can plan better where they park their vehicle.
