Russia plans to reduce the number of parking spaces near homes in order to encourage the use of public transport instead of personal transportation. However, this measure is unlikely to be effective; will not force residents to give up cars, but the already urgent problem of lack of parking spaces will be exacerbated, warned Automotive lawyer Dmitry Slavnov in a conversation with 360.ru.

If parking lots near houses are abolished, Russians will start leaving their cars everywhere. Car owners will try to “watch” a place for themselves, without perceiving problems with the comfort of others.

“Then it happens: I park, find a spot and nobody cares. It seems to me that this will lead directly to this, and not to “I’m going to go now, sell my car and take the bus.” No, this will not happen,” Slavnov was convinced.

It is quite understandable that Russians reject public transport in favor of personal transport, as it is more convenient in many respects. Even the developing car sharing cannot replace a personal vehicle. The automobile lawyer concluded that in any case, rental cars also have to be parked somewhere, so plans to reduce the number of parking spaces will create many problems.

Let us remind you that it is in Russia until 2026. intend to reduce number of parking spaces near residential buildings. The Ministry of Construction presented the relevant “road map” to the government. The document includes the introduction of paid parking in the areas with the simultaneous reduction of parking spaces near multi-storey economy class residential complexes. If approved, the changes could take effect in 2026.
