Goa is the one place where every one of us had either planned a visit or has been there already. The beautiful state which attracts a large chunk of tourism in the country is now sadly turning into a parking lot. There are more than a million vehicles on the roads despite being such a small state. Even though the roads and the infrastructure in state are not good in an overall rating, people are still buying vehicles which are worsening the situation.

The ray of hope is that the authorities of the state have recognised the problem and are willing to solve the parking issue in the city. The smart parking solution proposed by the Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Limited has planned to construct nearly 4000 parking spaces in the state between Old Goa to Dona Paula. The plan is to create a parking lot and then letting people book the space using a mobile application from the trending smartphones which almost every auto mobile owner owns.

Parts of the solution include installation of road sensors at about 450 chosen spots on the Old Goa to Dona Paula road. In case the situation gets better or worse, the driver will receive an alert on his/her smart phone and an alternate route would also be suggested to reach the desired destination. In order to reduce the parking solution, we at YoParker are also available to solve the issue. You can visit our website or use the app to book a secured parking space for your vehicle round the clock.

Happy Parking to you!
