Riyadh Comprehensive Parking Study


Like many urban cities, Riyadh is growing at a rapid pace and experiencing growing pains. Recent growth and development in Riyadh in general and many of its fifteen administrative districts has led to increased traffic on the roadways and an ever-increasing parking demand on the city’s parking facilities. With a heavy concentration of businesses/offices, shopping areas, educational institutions, hospitals and clinics in several of its administrative districts, parking facilities seem to be limited in supply. This study attempted to evaluate existing and future parking demands, examine the techniques and management methods currently in use, and determine the best policies and methods for managing parking demand in the City of Riyadh. Conventional techniques, coupled with ITS technology such as Parking Guidance Information Systems, Transit Based Information Systems, Intelligent Payment System, E-Parking, Valet Parking, and Robotic Parking systems, were explored as project strategies for solving current and future parking needs. In addition to the overall study and recommendations, this study resulted in the development of a Parking Generation Manual specifically designed for the City of Riyadh. This manual was developed based on actual data collected during the completion of this project. This manual will be used to determine the parking needs of future developments. A fair amount of time was devoted to the opinion of the parkers, merchants and stakeholders for formulating the guidelines for the development of policies related to parking for the City of Riyadh.
