Tracsis were commissioned to undertake the largest parking survey of its kind, covering approximately 400km of kerbside distance across the Boroughs 7 Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ). The parking stress survey involved recording the occupancy of all parking bays, restrictions and available spaces across hourly intervals between 0600 and 0000, over 2 weekdays and a Saturday. The areas included:
Double yellow lines (no waiting at any time);
Single yellow lines (no waiting between specified times);
Disabled parking;
Loading bays;
Doctors/Ambulance bay;
Car club bay;
Bus-stop clearways;
Bus Stops / Stands
School Keep Clear markings;
Pedestrian crossing zig-zag markings;
Access protection markings
Double red lines (Transport for London Red Route Clearways)
Partial registration details were recorded on each parking beat, to ascertain duration of stay of each vehicle. In addition, any visible permits were recorded against the parked vehicle, so that user characteristics could be evaluated, e.g. resident permits, blue badge holders etc.
Tracsis successfully completed the data collection on behalf of Consultants WSP, who in turn delivered the overall report of key findings, trends and levels of parking as well as duration of stay, age composition of vehicles across the 9 CPZ areas and recommendations for future developments in line with the proposed expansion around Croydon.
