(Baonghean.vn) - Dto avoid parking on the roadsidewalk, curb, whilelarge number of trucks, high demand for overnight parking,Quy Hop has built an overnight parking lot with initial results.

Before 2014, Quy Hop Town was a hot spot for illegal parking, with many tragic accidents causing frustration for road users, especially at night.

Mr. Le Hong Thang - Head of Quy Hop Town Police said: "To solve traffic congestion and accidents in the area, in 2014, Quy Hop District People's Committee decided to build an overnight parking lot with an area of ​​1 hectare, assigned to the town to be responsible for management".

Quy Hop town's overnight parking lot has a capacity of nearly 300 vehicles.

The parking lot has a capacity of 200 - 300 vehicles of all kinds. On average, each month the parking lot receives hundreds of vehicles temporarily parked overnight and hundreds of fixed vehicles per month. Since the opening of this parking lot, it has been very convenient for businesses in the transportation industry in and outside the area.

Mr. Tang Dinh Tu, an employee of Thanh Hong Son Passenger Transport Company, Quy Hop town, said: "The company currently has 15 transport vehicles. Since this parking lot was built, it has been very convenient for drivers. The service price is also reasonable, so many vehicle owners have registered to buy monthly tickets."

With the awareness of strictly following the regulations when having parking lots, there are no longer any trucks or passenger cars parked on the corridors or sidewalks in the town. Security and order are ensured, contributing to making the roads and sidewalks clear and airy, minimizing traffic accidents.

This station also has a car wash, very convenient for car owners.

According to Mr. Le Hong Thang - Head of Quy Hop Town Police: "Businesses as well as drivers always strictly comply with parking regulations. We assign 24/7 parking lot staff to ensure the safety of property for companies and individuals when parking in this parking lot.

However, the temporary parking lot is exposed to the sun and rain, so many car owners are still hesitant to park their cars in the parking lot. In addition, the time assigned to the Town Police Department for management and operation is short, only 2 years. If there is a project later, the district will take it back, which also affects the psychology of the parking lot operator./.
