With increasing number of vehicles and mobility facilities, traffic and parking problems are ubiquitous in urban areas. The approaching road to public places such as railway station and bus stations is typically congested. On station road, public attractions such as shops, hotels, and restaurants generate huge parking demand. The same situation occurs on station road of Valsad city. Valsad is a situated in the southern part of Gujarat state, India. Valsad railway station is connected by India Railway Services with the major cities such as Surat, Ahmedabad in North, and Mumbai in South. In particular peak hour when the train arrives or departs this road observes heavy congestion. Traffic is interrupted due to nearby shop visitors also as vehicles are parked on the road itself due to inadequate parking facilities. Concerning these issues, a proper parking solution is needed. For that purpose, parking study is conducted on station road to find out parking demand and parking characteristics. Parking survey was conducted for three days at station road, Valsad. License-plate method was used in on-street parking survey. This road was divided into 19 different segments for accurate and rapid data collection. In analysis, parking accumulation, volume, load, duration, turnover, and parking index was calculated. Peak parking demand for two-wheeler, car, auto-rickshaw, and LCV is 281, 9, 22, and 3, respectively. On the basis of peak parking demand, angled on-street parking can be provided with using odd-even parking system.
