The deficiency of parking place especially in town centers causes a lot of conflicts which influence the traffic flow continuity and traffic safety. Newly established parking places are usually occupied in short time and the problem is repeated.

There are also presented designs for solutions of these problems with the purpose to increase the safety of all road participants.
