Aachen plans more flexible parking rules: maximum parking time for four hours!

Aachen, Deutschland - The green-red coalition in the Aachen city council plans to increase the maximum parking time in tariff zone 1 from one to four hours. This decision should offer citizens more flexibility, especially for purchases, catering and visits to the doctor in the inner city area, according to the mobility spokesman Kaj Neumann (Greens) and Jan van den Hurk (SPD). In the past, the limitation had often led to an hour.

The new regulation is followed by the introduction of higher parking tariffs in December 2022, which should serve to make parking spaces in the parking garages more attractive. Parking currently costs three euros for an hour in the inner city area, while in most parking garages by 2.50 euros per hour. Despite the planned expansion of the maximum parking time, the coalition's goal remains to steer the parking traffic from the roadside to the parking garages.
