35 Designated Parking Inc has announced the MySpot 30 parking barrier. According to Dori Teich, President of the company, it combines physical and visual features that will deter even the most determined unauthorised parker.

The hinged, horseshoe-shaped unit stands 55.9cm high when activated, and a mere 7.6cm when folded. The user unlocks the raised barrier with a key and pushes it to the ground with light foot pressure, where it locks in place. After leaving the space the user simply steps on a pedal to release the barrier from its ground lock. The barrier rises under its own power to its vertical locked position.

    David Crawford parallel parks with innovations in two continents. Surveys of US cities indicate that drivers searching for parking can account for up to 37% of all urban traffic congestion. A 2011 study by IBM of 20 cities around the world found that nearly six out of ten drivers had abandoned their search for a parking space at least once; while motorists generally spent on average 20 minutes looking for a sought-after spot.
