Braunschweig is planning new long-term parking tickets

Parking in Braunschweig is becoming more attractive for out-of-town visitors and commuters. The city administration has presented a proposal for new long-term parking tickets in the Wallring zone, which is particularly aimed at non-residents who work there or visit the city. The news38.de reports that the plan will be discussed in the city district council.

The need for such offers is particularly due to the reduced parking pressure in the parking zone “I b”. There are more free parking spaces for residents here again, which makes the starting point for a new ticket service easier. Previously, non-residents could only park for a fee or with a discounted 24-hour ticket.

Convenient ticket offers

The desired tickets are clearly structured. A 7-day ticket for 29 euros and a monthly ticket for 79 euros are planned. These tickets should only be available via mobile phone parking. The city began offering digital parking tickets via smartphones in 2016. From July 2024, the city would also like to cooperate with the umbrella association for cell phone parking providers Smartparking, which includes six different providers. braunschweig.de emphasizes that this cooperation provides drivers with comprehensive options and allows for flexible extension or cancellation of parking permits.

However, you should keep an eye on the service fees, which can increase the overall costs: up to 33.35 euros for the 7-day ticket and up to 90.80 euros for the monthly ticket. Users therefore have to expect annual costs of over 1,000 euros for a monthly ticket, even without a parking space guarantee.

Important dates

The proposal for the new long-term parking tickets will be discussed in the district council on October 7th and will ultimately be decided by the city council on November 4th. The city administration of Braunschweig has set itself the goal of improving the parking situation for commuters and visitors and promoting sustainable mobility in the city.

Expectations for the redesign of the park landscape are high, and many are hoping for noticeable relief. The URBANOVA Group, which specializes in urban and traffic planning, supports the city with its interdisciplinary teams in the development of holistic concepts. These concepts aim to create sustainable mobility and thus increase the quality of life in cities. The demands on parking and mobility must be taken into account by drivers as well as pedestrians and cyclists in order to achieve harmonious coexistence, they say urbanova.group.

Overall, everything indicates that Braunschweig is on the right track to better manage the parking jungle and improve the situation for everyone involved. We can only hope that the new tickets have the desired effect and further organizational progress follows.
