A month after levying hefty fines on those parking within 500 metres of a public parking lot, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning on announcing on-street parking in three areas on pilot basis later this month. While the Mumbai Parking Authority (MPA) is still working out the details, once implemented, vehicles will no longer be allowed to park for free on the arterial roads and provisions for paid parking will be made on internal roads in the area. The plan will take off once the markings and signage are put up, a senior civic official said.

Speaking to mid-day, Vijay Singhal, the additional municipal commissioner said, "Detailed studies have been carried out and the on-street parking in the three areas will be implemented in the next two weeks, once the markings and signage have been put up. There will be a visible impact."
