Bengaluru’s Parking Problem: Can Smarter Parking Give Our Roads More Space?

60% of Bengaluru’s Road Space Occupied by Parked Vehicles!

According to a recent report by The Hindu, Karnataka Minister Krishna Byre Gowda stated that nearly 60% of Bengaluru’s road space is occupied by parked vehicles. He highlighted the need for better parking management and stricter enforcement.

Vehicles parked along roads reduce space for moving traffic, create congestion, and cause daily inconvenience for commuters.

But what if we could make better use of parking spaces that already exist?

The Solution: Smart Parking with Park Assign

Instead of depending only on new parking infrastructure, we can unlock existing, underutilised parking spaces.

Park Assign aims to connect vehicle owners with available parking spaces through a simple digital platform.

Here’s how it can help:

• Find & Book Parking: Drivers can discover available parking spaces and book them in advance.
• Utilise Empty Spaces: Property owners, residential societies, and commercial establishments can list eligible, unused parking spaces.
• Earn from Parking: Space owners can generate additional income by renting their available parking slots.
• Create Employment: Organised parking can open opportunities for parking operators, attendants, and local business partners.
• Reduce Roadside Parking: Easier access to designated parking spaces can encourage drivers to avoid obstructing public roads.

With proper permissions, parking regulations, and community participation, this approach can help cities use existing space more efficiently.

A Smarter Bengaluru Starts with Smarter Parking

Building more roads is not the only answer. Making better use of existing parking spaces is equally important.

Park Assign envisions a city where drivers spend less time searching for parking, property owners earn from unused spaces, and local communities benefit from new business and employment opportunities.

Let’s make every parking space count!
