How to park in Istanbul

Here are some advices to drivers about parking in this city of Turkey

If something amazes Istanbul tourists – besides the beauty and the antiquity of this unique city and the Turks” good nature – that is driving skills of local residents. Probably, only Istanbul citizen can turn around on a tiny patch, and leave the traffic jam within the shortest terms, moreover, without touching anybody. Conditions oblige! Istanbul is an ancient city; it has a lot of small close streets. Willing or not, you will learn. We, tourists, will never learn to drive like Istanbul people do. But, besides driving, we also need to have a place to park our cars, so, if we decide to come to Istanbul by car, we are in need of hotels in Istanbul with parking area. Therefore, we should remember some advices about such important for Istanbul procedure as parking.

Advice №1: get used to the car

You, certainly, will not take your car to Istanbul. Tourists, as a rule, hire cars (in Turkey this is not a problem – rent a car service it is cheap and quickly). This is good, and this is… bad. The matter is, that on the parking of any Istanbul hotel it is better to park the car, to which you have got used. Parking – especially in close conditions of the Istanbul roads – passes better, when you feel car”s sizes or the car by itself, as drivers say, well. Therefore, to park the car correctly, try to get used to it.

Advice №2: pay attention to the drive gear

All wheel-drive cars have the biggest turn radius, and the rear-wheel drive cars have the smallest. As you understand, this is the key point of the parking.

Advice №3: practice.

You may be a really skilled driver, but, anyway, it would not be desirable to pay for scratches on the hired car. That is why it will be better, if you spend an hour or two practicing in parking. You will not need much for this. Skilled instructors will advise you the following. To train the parking elements the same as maneuver “driving into the garage” is practiced, for example. Practice until you develop the absolute automatism of actions. Train parking in forward and back run, in parallel, perpendicularly and at an angle to the curb.

Advice №4: do not forget about headlights

Another advice from the skilled drivers – use headlights while parking the car. At the forward parking blink the upper beam at the critical for you line. The size of the beam of light on the obstacle and its brightness the same as any parking radar will help you to define the distance to the granite curb or to the next car bumper. While making the back parking use for the same purpose the stoplights, light from the lantern or a shadow from an obstacle.

Advice №5: look around

Istanbul is a great city, but you do not know it yet. Therefore, you will have to park in the unfamiliar places. In such cases, before parking, thoroughly examine the place of your future parking and the entrance to it.

Advice №6

Parking your car on the roadside – fold your mirrors, and take along everything valuable. Well, and if you do not wish to burden yourselves in Istanbul even with parking – just stop at a hotel where it is. In that case, – be sure – your car will be parked by the hotel employee. And they will do that quickly and professionally.

Stress-Free Parking at Luxemburg Airport

At the new terminal of Luxemburg Airport, a new car park management system of Scheidt & Bachmann was installed.

At the new terminal of Luxemburg Airport, a new car park management system of Scheidt & Bachmann was installed. In two separate major parking areas, an indoor car park and the so-called Kiss & Fly car park, there are about 4100 parking lots available to flight passengers and staff members of the airport.

The integrated parking guidance system permits quick orientation. The vacant parking lots are very quickly detected by means of direction notes and displays.

The new underground car park extends through four levels and has direct access to the airport terminal. Six entries and six exits ensure short distances to the parking lots. A single lot detection sensor is provided above each of the 4000 parking lots in the indoor car park. If the sensor shows a green light, the vacancy of the parking lot can be recognized already at a great distance. The visualization of the occupancy status consequently permits evaluations on the utilization frequency of certain parking areas, and measures to increase the attractiveness and utilization of these areas can be derived.
