Taipei adds 12 parking lots for large motorcycles

Taipei is expanding its "off-street motorcycle parking lot large motorcycle shared space" pilot program, adding 12 new public parking lots where heavy motorcycles can park in designated motorcycle areas. This initiative, which began on April 6 with 24 locations, is being broadened due to positive feedback from riders appreciating the increased parking convenience.

The new locations include two each in Xinyi and Nangang districts, and one each in Shilin, Datong, Daan, Zhongshan, Wenshan, Beitou, Songshan, and Wanhua districts. These sites feature underground parking facilities such as Fulin Park, Qicong School, and Daan Forest Park.

Since the trial began, large motorcycle riders have given positive affirmation for having more diverse and convenient parking options.

Parking fees will be charged either per entry or per hour. For per-entry fees, it's NT$40, with a new charge applied the next day. For hourly rates, it's NT$20 per hour, with a daily maximum of NT$40. When large motorcycles park in motorcycle zones, they must park diagonally and use a maximum of two spaces, as indicated by on-site signage. The fee will be double the standard motorcycle rate for the specific lot.

The expansion aims to further optimize space utilization, with the Parking Management and Development Office selecting suitable locations based on the program's success. Dedicated signage has been installed at the new sites to guide riders.

To further implement space activation, another 12 off-street motorcycle parking lots with suitable conditions have been selected this time, with exclusive parking instruction signs installed on-site to guide.
