Why do parking controls exist?
A. Most people would like to use their cars when they want to, park close to their destination and have a space outside their homes on their return.There is, however, too much demand for this type of use and just not enough space on the roads and in parking facilities to allow this to happen.Crowded roads, traffic accidents, and cars cluttering up the streets all have a negative impact on the environment of the streets. In addition, traffic trapped in congestion causes severe pollution.Consequently, the council has adopted policies to control the use and the parking of cars throughout the district while still accommodating access to all the attractions in the area and residential properties.
Most people like to park close to their destination when they use their cars. However, there is not enough space on the roads to allow this to happen on many occasions. Cars littering the streets have a negative impact on the environment of residential streets, and traffic trapped in congestion causes increased pollution. Consequently, Woking Borough Council has adopted policies to manage the parking of cars throughout the Borough. Parking management on public highways and the provision of off-street parking facilities are important parts of these policies.
