My proposal is that each parking space should have a sensor which tells whether or not it is occupied, and this should be bookable over the internet
What I am proposing
Finding parking in town can be stressful and can discourage shoppers from visiting the town centre because they do not know whether they will be able to park. My proposal is to create a system of bookable parking spaces
How it will work
Technology could be used to work out whether a space is available. This space would be bookable over the internet. The booking system could even automatically send the location of the parking space to the car's Sat Nav system.
Why do this?
By making parking spaces bookable, people will know that they will be able to park and will be encouraged to visit the town centre.

- that's all very well but for lots of people park and ride is too far away and too hard to get to.
- you could set it up so that if you haven't booked and paid for your space, the car's computer will refuse to drive in
- people should use park and ride instead of taking cars into city centres
that's all very well but for lots of people park and ride is too far away and too hard to get to. Then you have to wait for buses and can't come and go as you please
What a genius idea. So much time is wasted driving round looking for a space. It would cut the amount of pollution caused by idling, and because you are going straight to your space you are driving fewer miles, therefore you will be saving on fuel as well.

but what if you need to do this in an emergency?

you should have less parking not more parking
Robots are taking over the world. What about those people who don't want to be tracked by big brother?
