COMMUTER PARKING - ONE LOCAL AUTHORITY'S RESPONSE

The purpose of this paper is to show how one local authority, the London Borough of Redbridge, has tried to reduce the adverse effects of all-day parking by commuters who use London Regional Transport (LRT) underground railway stations. It describes the initial pilot scheme and how lessons learnt from it were used to develop a programme of traffic management measures. The scheme basically comprised the introduction of a waiting restriction which operated for just one hour during the middle of the day. Provisions were made for parking by residents. Although the measures were tailored to the needs of Redbridge, the principles underlying them could be applied wherever all-day parking creates problems. (TRRL)
