Intercepting parking lots are open or closed parking lots located on the route of the population. A citizen who drives his own car can at any time leave it for safekeeping and continue his journey, changing to public transport.
The main purpose of intercepting parking lots is to relieve traffic and prevent traffic jams. Previously, this was only relevant in federal cities. Currently, this issue is on the agenda in all regions, provincial cities and towns.
Intercepting parking lots are located in a convenient location close to public transport stops, suburban trains, subways and electric trains. Around the central part of the city or settlement, as a rule, there are several open or closed parking lots, where you can leave your personal car and continue your journey by another type of transport.
Until recently, there was only one intercept parking in Moscow near the Proletarskaya metro station. Today, many large intercept parking lots are open. This is very convenient for people who commute to work from the outskirts of the city or from the suburbs using their own transport. If the main streets can be reached quickly enough, further movement by private car can be difficult or completely suspended due to the accumulated traffic jams. This situation makes it difficult to get to your destination in a timely manner. Intercepting parking lots help solve this problem.
In the cities of federal significance, when entering the parking lot, the driver is given a special coupon with the inscription "Parking". It can be used as a travel ticket to travel in the subway to the destination and back. The driver is then obliged to return the contactless card, pay the sum for two metro rides and get his car back. If before 23.30. the driver did not have time, he will have to pay the full amount for the storage of personal vehicles in accordance with the current tariffs.
