The Subang Jaya city council (MBSJ) will finally implement its two-hour parking limit in six areas, beginning from September 1. Originally announced in February and scheduled to start from June 1, the timed parking scheme was postponed because the Selangor government had at that point yet to approve and gazette the amendment on the Road Transport Order (Parking Space Allocation) MBSJ 2022.
The six areas that will have two-hour parking limits are in USJ10, SS12, SS15, USJ21, Bandar Puteri Puchong and Jalan Kenari in Puchong, The Star reports.
According to Subang Jaya mayor Johary Anuar, 1,895 parking bays had been painted with orange lines to alert motorists about the two-hour limit, with more bays to be added. The city council said it is preparing 2,106 two-hour parking bays out of the estimated 45,000 bays available in the commercial areas within its jurisdiction.
He said the parking fee for the two-hour parking zones would be set at 50 sen for the first half hour (reduced by 10 sen from that originally quoted in February), and that there would be a cooling-off period of an hour before motorists are allowed to re-park at these bays.
Johary stated that the cooling-off period would cover all six areas under the scheme. As such, if a vehicle owner has occupied the full time limit at a two-hour parking bay, say in SS15, he or she will have to wait an hour before parking in another two-hour limit bay, no matter if it was in USJ10, SS12 or any of the other parking zones in areas designated under the plan.
He said that MBSJ teams would patrol the areas and vehicles exceeding the time limit would be towed. He added that existing disabled parking spots are excluded from the new limit, and that the the one-hour parking spots that were previously initiated would be abolished. The two-hour limit will also not affect owners of shophouses or other premises renting parking bays on a yearly basis.
As for payment, he said that motorists will be able to pay the two-hour parking fee using the Smart Selangor app from September 1. Other parking payment apps such as Flexi Parking, JomParking as well as ewallets such as Boost, Touch ‘n Go, KK Mart and Setel would be integrated later.
Double triple parking also can solve, ni nak buat 2 hour limit. Do they have parking time limit at their own MBSJ premise?
I totally agree with MBSJ, but make sure there are parking garage/building nearby, for those who need to do their errands more than 2 hours.
If the designate parking garage/building is really far, please provide the motorist with the free shuttle especially for those who are at golden age and for the people with disabilities.
This is what we have in our state some 20 years ago.
The MBSJ also should consider using chalk as to mark the tire thread of the car which park in that 2-hour parking limit spot. It is far more convenient than the app. And one more thing, it let other citizen to know that the car has park more than 2 hours.
On how they do the chalking, please google for it.
top kok memang numba one. enforcement nanti tgk camne la. ramai sgt ke staff mbsj sampai kena suh derang kuar ronda cari makan?
Just build a proper car park for those people working there and charge reas9nable fees but increase the parking charges at shop houses to deter those hogging the parking lots. Businesses are affected if customers cannot get parking.
The current 1 hour limit also cannot be enforced, now want to enforce 2 hours limit and will tow the cars if parked exceed 2 hours? Ha ha ha…..
Most of the cars parked at street parkings belong to workers working in the vicinity. Where do you expect them to park their cars after 2 hours and during the cooling period?
Jalan Kenari doesn’t have enough parking garage space for all the people who work in the area already, how are people going to be able to work if they have to keep moving their car?
I have a question. If I park in a two hour lot say in USJ10, paid for 1 hour , finish my business there and then have to run another errand in SS15. From what I read in the article, I cannot park in another two hour lot in SS15? How does this really work?
Can MBSJ issue a clear directive with various examples to explain this new arrangement?
nothing better to do
