Parking lot on Petofi Square in Uzhgorod may be charged

Today, April 30, during the session of the transport committee of Uzhgorod City Council, they discussed the expansion of parking space.

According to the deputy mayor of Uzhgorod Yaroslav Shafar, there is the need to provide for the parking space and set the appropriate charge for it.

He also added that it is necessary to introduce paid parking in Uzhgorod. "We need to set up the parking machines that were purchased back in 2012. Not spontaneously, not all at once, but it must be done. We made ​​measurements there, we know how they park and we have problems with drivers that park cars there for whole day. The area will be better used".

As for the cars that are parked on Petofi Square for whole day, Yaroslav Shafar said that for them they will arrange for a lot near the Transcarpathian Regional Drama Theater.
According to Yaroslav Shafar, rates for parking had already been set – 2 UAH per hour and 15 UAH per day.

In addition, they suggested developing regulatory acts to influence drivers who won’t pay for parking: wheel locking, tow trucks, etc.
