| 摘要： | All local governments in the U.S. set the street minimum width and cross-section design for local neighborhood streets. Because local streets typically require no more than two traffic lanes (approx. 20 feet wide), a minimum width of 26 feet or wider automatically produces at least one parking lane on the street, making this requirement a de facto parking policy. Supporters believe wide streets with parking are what residents want, while opponents criticize wide streets as the result of an excessive regulation without market demand. By comparing 216 households’ willingness to pay for street parking lanes with the cost of providing them from 20 cities in 11 metropolitan areas in the U.S., we found that on average 83% of households cannot afford (or do not want) street parking lanes. The result supports opponents’ stand. The street minimum width requirement tends to over-supply street (and parking) space in American suburbia. Local governments should reduce this requirement to maximize economic efficiency and social welfare and eliminates market distortion. |
