The expected benefits of implementing an integrated plan with controlled parking zones in a mid-sized city centre will be manifold and readily visible to both traffic and pedestrian’s traffic and safety. More specifically, the pricing of on-street parking spots and the imposition of time constraints will discourage the unnecessary use of private vehicles and free up parking spaces while increasing their use, that is, the number of parking spaces serviced. In addition, it is proposed to organize and deploy special parking spaces exclusively for taxis, tour buses and trucks in the urban area, to serve the needs arising from existing uses and to improve citizens’ accessibility. Restricted parking both at home and at the trip destination combines to low possibilities of car use. Parking restrictions will have the greatest effect in compact cities. In Xanthi, Thrace, parking management has often remained a domain untouched by the authorities, unless parking problems have spiraled out of control and the city wants to gain financial revenue. This has led to a merely reactive and operational way of dealing with parking, mainly only responding when a specific problem pops up (at a certain location), and using an isolated approach, further facilitating car use. Thus, a “predict and provide” mechanism – often focusing on infrastructure – has dominated parking policy in the city for many years. An effort is made to face the problem with the aid of an analysis based on counts and questionnaires in different locations of Xanthi.
