Visit for 10 crowns per hour. Prague established credit system for parking craftsmen and others
The annual limit should be 120 hours.
(Updated 15:32 for crucial new information) Residents of the capital will in the future be able to buy a so-called hourly credit, through which would provide parking operators for visitors or craftsmen who come to them. The price of one hour credit would be ten crowns. Gradual commissioning would begin in January next year. This follows from a document approved by the deputy yesterday. The residence pays 1,200 crowns a year for parking.
Residents could buy a 120-hour credit for 1,200 crowns. You could also buy it for 60 hours for 600 crowns. As soon as the visitor arrived, parking would pay for her online for a while. For the credit to work, it will be necessary to divide the parking area into smaller parts into which credits would be purchased. Now such “sub-areas” operate in Prague 5, 9, 10 and 18.
So far, there is also a visitor package for drivers who travel to any locality regularly.
According to the document, the municipality is considering introducing higher prices for visitors to mixed areas in some places and on some days, where they can park cross-country. This could concern, for example, the surroundings of the Slavia football stadium in Eden or the surroundings of the O2 Arena. The reason is the protection of the locals, who have nowhere to park in case of events at the stadiums, as the places fill the visitors of the events. It is not yet clear whether this will happen.
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.

(The original ČTK report stated that the option would only apply to holders of parking cards. The agency’s information was incorrect, every resident over the age of 18 will have the option)
