Why can’t I park my car in my own arcade?

Do you still remember my grandpa? He used to run a grocery store, and the arcade was part of the store and also an important social place among neighbors. At that time, parking at the arcade? Don’t even think about it! Because the arcades were filled with goods, neighbors were chatting in groups and children were playing, making it very lively. Now what? Many arcades are occupied by vehicles, and their original vitality and human touch are gradually disappearing. This is not just about personal convenience, but involves the use of public space and the maintenance of the urban landscape.

According to the relevant regulations issued by the Construction and Planning Agency of the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the "Arcade Accessibility Plan" promoted by county and city governments such as Taipei City and New Taipei City, it is clearly stated that arcades should be kept unobstructed and vehicles should not be parked arbitrarily. In addition to being fined, illegal parking also hinders pedestrian traffic and creates safety hazards. Think about it, if there is an emergency, such as a fire or an ambulance needs to pass, how much of a hindrance will the blocked arcade cause? This is not only irresponsible to oneself, but also to the public.Safeof indifference. Many cases have shown that illegal parking on arcades has resulted in injuries or even deaths of pedestrians, and related news reports are common.

Many people would question why they cannot park their cars in their own arcades? This involves a balance between land use rights and public interests. Even if the arcade is part of your building ownership, according to the Building Law and related regulations, the arcade is a "public passage space" and its use must be in the public interest. In simple terms:

• Protecting pedestrians’ right of way:This is the most fundamental purpose.
• Maintaining the urban landscape:Avoid the arcade being occupied by debris or vehicles, which will affect the cityscape.
• Ensuring public safety:Avoid hindering emergency relief.

Therefore, even if it is your own arcade, you must abide by relevant regulations and avoid illegal parking. We can refer to many successful cases. For example, some shops transformed the arcade space into green space or rest area, which not only beautified the environment, but also enhanced the image and attractiveness of the shop. Only by changing our mindset and making good use of arcade space can we create a better living environment. Don't let temporary parking convenience sacrifice long-term public interests and urban development.

Do you remember when I was studying in Taipei during my college years? At that time, in order to save money, I often rode an old motorcycle and parked it in my own arcade at night. One morning, I found that my car was scratched and the rearview mirror was broken. I felt angry and helpless. After calling the police, they just said that the arcade is a public space and it is difficult to track down the culprit, so I could only blame myself for my bad luck. This incident made me realize that although parking on the arcade seems convenient, it actually hides huge risks.Saferisk. Not only are vehicles vulnerable to damage, but even more serious incidents such as theft may occur. According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior’s National Police AgencydataEvery year, there are countless traffic accidents and disputes caused by illegal parking on arcades. This is why I no longer recommend my friends to park their cars on arcades.

In addition to safety issues, arcade parking also involves damage to rights and interests. Many arcades are owned by building owners, who haverightDecide whether to allow others to park their vehicle. If you park without permission, it may not only cause neighborhood disputes, but may also lead tolawlitigation. According to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the arcade is part of a building and the owner has the right to exclude others from interfering with his right of use. In addition, the arcade structures of many old buildings are outdated and have to bear the weight of vehicles for a long time, which can easily cause damage to the buildings and affect residential safety. This is also emphasized in research reports released many times by the Ministry of the Interior's Architectural Research Institute.

More importantly, parking on the arcade has caused serioussocietycost. The arcade should be used as a pedestrian space to provide a comfortableSafewalking environment. However, a large number of vehicles parked in the arcades not only occupy the pedestrian walkway, but also affect the cityscape and even cause fire safety hazards. According to a survey by the Taipei City Government's Transportation Bureau, many illegal parking lots on arcades seriously hinder the passage of emergency vehicles and delay treatment time. This not only affects the quality of life of citizens, but may also endanger their lives. We must think about whether facilitating individual parking needs should come at the expense of the public interest?

Therefore, we should rethink the way arcades are used. The government shouldpositivePromote policies such as:

• Well-planned parking facilities, to solve the problem of insufficient parking spaces.
• Strengthen the crackdown on illegal parking on arcades, maintain public order.
• Promotion of public transportation system, encouraging citizens to use publicTransportationtool.

Only in this way can we effectively reduce the impact of parking on the arcadeSaferisk,rights and interestsdamage and social costs, and create safer and more comfortable public spaces.

Do you remember when I was studying in Taipei during my college years? At that time, I rented an old apartment near the Normal University. The arcade was always full of motorcycles, like a long winding iron dragon. Every day when I go home, I have to shuttle through the streets like playing dodgeball to find my car. Not to mention the dilemma of people hiding under the arcades on rainy days competing for space with motorcycles. That scene is still vivid in my mind. Later, due to increasingly strict enforcement of illegal parking regulations and repeated negotiations among apartment residents, the arcade was finally "cleared". Although it was a little inconvenient at first, after a while I felt that the environment became cleaner, brighter and safer. This personal experience made me deeply realize that the seemingly convenient arcade parking actually hides manySafeand management issues.

So, how do we solve the parking problem if we don’t have arcade parking? There are actually quite a few choices! First, consider nearby parking lots. According to statistics from the Ministry of Transportation, the number of parking lots across Taiwan has increased year by year. Many shopping malls and buildings have paid parking lots. Although the price is more expensive than parking in arcades, it is relatively safe and well managed. When choosing a parking lot, it is recommended to compare the price, location and safety, such as whether there ismonitor, 24-hour management, etc. In addition, you can also make use of the parking information provided by the government.platform, check the vacancy status of nearby parking lots and effectively save time in finding parking spaces.

In addition to parking lots, shared scooters are also a good option. In recent years, shared scooters have flourished in Taiwan. They are not only convenient and fast, but also relatively environmentally friendly. According to statistics, the usage rate of shared scooters continues to rise, especially in urban areas, and they are the means of transportation for many people. Before using a shared scooter, remember to download the relevantAPP, understand the usage process and charging method. Also, pay attention to ridingSafe, obey traffic rules, to be safe andEfficientuse this service.

Finally, don’t forget public transportation! Taiwan's public transportation system is becoming increasingly complete, with many options such as MRT, buses, and Taiwan Railways, which can not only effectively relieveTransportationIt can also reduce carbon emissions. According to statistics, takingpublic transportationThe proportion has increased year by year, indicating that people's environmental awareness has risen. Making good use of public transportation can not only save you parking fees, but also allow you to enjoy a more comfortable and convenient transportation experience. You can refer to the route information provided by the transportation bureaus of various county and city governments to plan the commuting route that best suits you.

• Choose what suits youTransportationTools can effectively solve the parking problem.
• Make full use of resources provided by the government, such as parking information platforms, public transport route enquiries, etc.
• Cultivate environmental awareness and choose more environmentally friendly modes of transportation.

I still remember when I was a child, every household had bicycles, motorcycles and even cars parked downstairs. That scene has gradually disappeared now. My grandpa often said that arcades used to be public spaces in the community and places for neighborhood interaction, but now they have become controversial.focus. As a marketing consultant, I haveobserveThrough the development of Taiwan’s communities, we have come to realize the complexity of the problem of arcade parking. It is not simply a problem of insufficient parking spaces, but also involvesCommunity consensus, public safety, and urban planningAnd other multi-faceted issues. Many arcades in old communities have fallen into disrepair and their structures areSafeIt is worrying that rash parking may cause more danger. Emerging communities are facing a shortage of parking spaces, and disputes arise among residents over the use of arcade parking spaces.

According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior, Taiwan has a high residential density and parking space is generally insufficient. Many communities lack a complete parking plan, which causes residents to park their vehicles on arcades, affecting pedestrian traffic and the city appearance. However, simply banning it is not a long-term solution. We need more proactive solutions, such as encouraging communities to set up management committees to build consensus through consultation with residents and formulate reasonable parking regulations. For example, designating specific areas for residents to park, or setting time limits to balance residents' needs with the public interest. At the same time, the government should actively promote the renewal of old communities, improve the arcade structure, and provide more public parking spaces to reduce community parking problems.pressure. The Construction and Planning Agency of the Ministry of the Interior has released relevant information, pointing out that urban renewal can effectively improve the quality of community life and solve parking problems.

In addition to community-level efforts, the governmentpolicyalso playskeyRole. It is recommended that the government refer to foreign experience, e.g.JapanMany cities use smart parking systems to effectively manage parking resources and provide real-time parking information. Taiwan can also refer to Singapore’s experience and use incentive measures to encourage people to use public transportation and reduce their reliance on private cars. In addition, the government shouldpositivePromote green transport policies, such as expanding the bicycle lane network and encouraging the use of electric vehicles to reduce traffic congestion and parking needs. according toTransportationMinistry statistics show that the number of motorcycles has continued to increase in recent years, highlighting the problem of insufficient parking space.

Looking ahead, solving the problem of arcade parking requires joint efforts from the government, community and residents. We need more proactive policy planning, better community management, and more specific implementation plans. Only in this way can we create a safe, convenient and public-interest community environment. This requires long-term planning and continuous monitoring of results to truly solve this problem that has long plagued Taiwanese society. For example, we can refer to the pedestrian-friendly environment improvement plan promoted by the Taipei City Government in recent years as a reference for futurepolicyReference basis for formulation. This requires a comprehensive consideration rather than simply banning or letting it go.
