Abstract: The *Guidelines for Parking Facilities in Urban Areas (First Revision)*, developed by the Highways Specifications and Standards Committee, provide strategies for planning, developing, and managing parking in urban areas, focusing on cities like New Delhi. The guidelines address the evolving needs of urban transport systems, promoting sustainable land use and efficient parking for private vehicles, public transport, and non-motorized modes. Key sections cover Parking Benefit Districts (PBDs), parking design standards, and enforcement. Annexures include data on vehicle statistics and best practices from Asian cities. The guidelines aim to optimize parking infrastructure, reduce congestion, and improve transport efficiency, especially in rapidly growing cities.
