There are currently twenty-seven parking zones in Budapest, but the Municipal Assembly has decided to leave only four zones, helping to make parking easier in the capital.
The following pricing will apply in the zones from September:
An additional 3-hour time limit will be introduced in zones A-B-C.
Samu Balogh the mayor's chief of staff, told HVG that the new zoning system, the price change and the introduction of the time limit will result in a faster turnover of cars, thus improving the efficiency of parking spaces. Thus, on-street parking will mainly favour short term and quick parking. This is also important because Balogh says that there are many complaints about the saturation of parking spaces, and it is hoped that the new zones will result in motorists starting to use underground car parks, which have plenty of capacity.
The zone boundaries will not follow the district boundaries, but each zone will have new, uniform information signs to clearly show the hourly rate and characteristics of the zone.
Unfortunately, the new zoning system will, in addition to its many benefits, also lead to an average 10% increase in prices, making the utilisation of private parking spaces and underground car parks an increasingly pressing issue. Utilisation of empty capacity can be achieved not only through faster car turnover, but also through the short-term leasing and sharing of private parking spaces.
