Prague – Holders of parking permits in the metropolis will be able to buy a so-called hourly parking credit, through which they will provide parking for visitors or craftsmen who come to them. The city council decided on this at a night meeting today. The price of one hour credit is to be ten crowns and the gradual commissioning of the novelty is to start from January next year.
Holders of resident parking cards will be able to obtain a 120-hour credit for 1,200 crowns. You could also buy it for 60 hours for 600 crowns. Payment will be made online. For the credit to work, it will be necessary to divide the parking area into smaller parts into which the credits will be purchased. Such “sub – areas” now operate in Prague 5, 9, 10 and 18.
The zones first appeared in a modern form in 1996 in the part of Prague 1, where the effort to regulate traffic appeared in 1982. Subsequently, they were expanded and operate in Prague 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 16 and 22. The municipality collects around half a billion crowns a year in the parking lot.
