Parking Today

Enforcement of on-street parking regulations is an integral component to the management of municipal transportation systems. Inadequate enforcement can restrict traffic flow and reduce response time for emergency vehicles. Proper enforcement results in more efficient utilization of the public right-of-way. Too often, transportation engineers have paid little attention to parking enforcement as an issue of concern. In general, too few major urban areas view this as a critical issue. But many metropolitan Boston municipalities have recognized this by consolidating parking enforcement and traffic operations into one municipal department. Boston and Cambridge, MA, follow this model. So, too, does Somerville, MA.
