Parking troubles solved

I don't know the rate of heart attacks caused by parking trouble, but I am sure it's significant. Thus solutions are welcomed.

In Pacific Grove, a coastal resort town by the Monterey Bay in California, they have found a solution inspired by the hospitality business: increased parking turnover. By using a digital system that charges you more and more per hour they enable people to make small arrends while long-term parkers are to find spots outside the city. The parking spots are equipped by a wire grid under the pavement that triggers a sensor when the car moves, resetting the level to the next parker.

Hopefully the solution can decrease the so annoying hunt for parking spots, which also causes a lot of polution.

Always talk about the.....

...traffic. Don't we all love to hate it. The jams, the parking problems, old men in hats. And now you can share your stories and your solutions with the rest of us. Traffic Documentary is a web site run by a couple of film makers searching for great stories to use in a documentary about the Southern California traffic.

For those of us who work to change people's behavior it's a golden source of inspiration.
