According to the latest data surveys, there are around 1.2 million parking spaces for cars on public streets and squares throughout Berlin.
To be precise, 1,276,312 parking spaces have now been recorded and published in detail, according to the Senate Transport Administration.
Only a small proportion of these parking spaces are located within the S-Bahn ring. That is just under 230,000, as was already reported a year ago according to the status at that time. More than half of these (54 percent) are residents' parking spaces that have to be paid for by other drivers. The parking spaces were digitally recorded with cameras. A map on the Internet will now display information on each parking space, such as exact location with street and house number, orientation, parking times and parking fees with times.
Transport Senator Ute Bonde (CDU) announced that all parking spaces outside the S-Bahn ring had now also been mapped in order to better understand the interrelationships between traffic and air pollution control planning. "The data set supports traffic and urban planners in their daily work to make traffic more environmentally friendly." This allows them to quickly determine how many and which parking spaces are affected by a traffic measure.
