Day 330, Car parking, waste of space

For most of the day car parks are empty.

Yet the land is expensive.

How much must this need for car parking space cost businesses nationally - this car park is fully occupied for only around 8 hours out of 24 for 5 days a week and is empty for almost all the rest of the weekdays and completely over the weekend.

Consider how much a well integrated transport system could reduce the need for all of these parking spaces.

Businesses could do many things if there wasn't such a requirement - expand their offices; put trees on the land; sell the land on; make better use of their investment.

This is 6am on a Wednesday morning, not a single vehicle.

There's something sinister about this picture with the gates at the end, reminiscent of something, nothing to do with car parking.
