Why e-challans are no deterrent to illegal parking
Extract:
The article
highlights the ineffective nature of e-challans in deterring illegal parking,
as stated by a traffic expert. The issue of illegal parking has escalated to
such an extent that residents of Tilak Nagar sought intervention from the
Bombay High Court in 2022.
Experts
suggest that the core problem lies not in parking itself but in the concept of
free parking. This revelation sheds light on the challenges faced in managing
parking violations and the urgent need for innovative solutions to tackle this
issue effectively.

My Take:
How to Earn Rs 1 Lakh Crore from Parking…………14/02/2018
In my previous
blog post, I proposed a comprehensive solution to generate revenue from parking
fees by implementing a technology-based system that eliminates human
intervention.
Reflecting on
the current scenario regarding illegal parking, it's evident that the lack of
efficient enforcement mechanisms like the one I suggested has led to the
persistence of this issue.
By revisiting
this solution proposed years ago, it becomes apparent that predictive measures
could have alleviated the current challenges surrounding illegal parking.
Discussing the
un-implementable nature of certain schemes due to the potential for corruption,
my blog highlighted the pitfalls of ineffective policies.
Drawing
parallels to the current situation of ineffective e-challans in curbing illegal
parking, it is evident that unless practical and corruption-proof strategies
are adopted, the problem persists.
By emphasizing
the need for sustainable and efficient solutions, such as the technology-driven
system proposed, we can address the root causes of illegal parking more
effectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call to Action:
To the
authorities responsible for traffic management in Tilak Nagar and other areas
facing similar challenges, it is imperative to consider and implement
innovative, technology-driven solutions to combat illegal parking effectively.
By adopting
transparent and automated systems, the authorities can not only deter parking
violations but also streamline revenue collection processes.
It's time to
transition from traditional enforcement methods to modern, corruption-resistant
solutions for sustainable urban parking management.
