Parking fees in the Rems-Murr district are rising: New system ensures order!

In the Rems-Murr district, drivers are facing new challenges: parking is becoming more expensive. With the opening of a new underground car park at the district office, new parking regulations will also be introduced. The changes particularly affect the two underground car parks of the district office and the vocational schools. In a recent report by ZVW The new “Freeflow” parking system is presented. This system enables automatic scanning of the car's license plate upon entry, followed by cashless payment after entering the license plate.

Another plus of the new parking system is the relief at the exits, which will make traffic jams at the underground car park barriers a thing of the past.

Previously, tradesmen had to apply for their own parking permit for each location from the respective municipality. The new district-wide parking permit enables cross-area use without separate permits for each municipality.
