You would have to travel to Yerevan, the capital of

Armenia

, to park in a regulated parking area at a negligible cost of 18 cents per hour.

But since it's a bit out of the way, let's go to an identical area of ​​the city of

Madrid

, which costs between 90 cents and 1.20 euros according to the report published by

picodi.com

.

Expensive?

For an Armenian, sure, but for a Londoner,

a real bargain

.

Greater London

is prohibitive, an invitation not to touch the car

.

It is the policy of the British capital to

discourage the use of the car in the city.

Paying 9.9 euros for an hour

of parking on the street is not worth it, it is almost better to hail a taxi.

The same dissuasive strategy is proposed by other capitals in northern Europe, such as

Amsterdam

and

Oslo

, whose rate for parking in the limited area of ​​the center costs

7.5 euros per

hour.

Paris

, which is one of the cities with the largest area and with the fewest exceptions, charges

six euros

, one euro every 10 minutes.

Lisbon

has also raised the price of parking, which is

3 euros per hour

, which should be calibrated as a very high figure not only because it is more than double that of Madrid, but also because of the Portuguese per capita income, little comparable to that of the Nordic capitals that lead the 'carero' ranking.

Rome

is aligned with the prices of the Spanish capital and charges

between one euro and 1.10 euros

per hour for parking , according to the study.

The analysis of picodi.com takes into account the prices of parking in the regulated parking zones on

business days for a full hour or for the first hour, as well as the prices of the subscriptions of residents

that give the right to unlimited parking in the zones .

of regulated parking in the immediate vicinity of the place of residence,

excluding any discounts such as, for example, discounts for owners of electric cars, low-emission cars, cars for people with disabilities

, etc.

The prices correspond to the first months of 2021 and were extracted from the official websites of the cities or the entities in charge of administering the regulated parking areas.

residents

In Madrid,

the authorization for residents that allows parking without a time limit

in green spaces, the most expensive, costs 24.60 euros per year. Another bargain when compared to Paris, where

you have to pay 522 euros and also, the restriction zone covers more than any other European capital, all of Paris

. In Madrid the regulation reaches 8% of the city, by 33% in Lisbon, 25% in Vienna or 5% in Berlin.


The annual subscription of a resident in

Stockholm

, and

Riga

can

exceed 1,000 euros

depending on which areas. Amsterdam has a wide range of options, between 32 and 567 euros per year depending on whether the area is more or less central and protected.

Let's cross 'the puddle

'. How much does it cost to park in the

Big Apple of New York

? The first thing to say is that they do not make exceptions for residents:

hire or buy a parking space

, because there is no annual bonus for those who stay in the regulated areas of the city. And the second, that comparatively with Europe, it has

a more lax and permissive policy with regard to circulation

. An hour of regulated parking costs at most

3.95 euros

to change in the most critical places, but once one moves away from the heart,

in other neighborhoods you can park for 1.10 euros per hour

, a little more or less as in Madrid.

In the Southern Cone, the regulation of

Buenos Aires

allows parking in the limited parking areas at a price of 26 cents an hour and also the residents of these central neighborhoods do not have to pay anything to be able to park their cars on the protected public road.

Sao Paulo

moves in similar figures for the hour of parking, but it does charge 272 euros per year to residents in these regulated areas.
