Citywide parking policy and traffic: Evidence from Amsterdam
研究了阿姆斯特丹大幅提高路边停车费对停车需求和交通流量的影响,发现停车需求下降且未转移至场外,交通流量减少2%-3%,晚高峰拥堵缓解更明显。
We examine the effect of citywide parking policy on parking and traffic demand. Using a large increase in on-street parking prices for the city of Amsterdam, we show that the policy caused a substantial drop in on-street parking demand, which is not offset by an increase in off-street demand. The overall reduction in parking demand implies a 2% – 3% reduction in traffic, which is confirmed with traffic flow data. The decline in traffic is larger during the evening peak, which indicates that parking prices are effective in reducing congestion in the evening peak but less so in the morning peak.
