Parking Bays Construction of parking bays can be used to slow traffic on the street. Curb <br /> extensions are used to narrow the street width where parking is not needed or desired, while <br /> leaving space for parking where it is desired. Where curbs are extended, enhanced street tree <br /> planting or landscape areas are possible. This technique has the added benefit of markedly <br /> improving the appearance of the street. Parking bays reduce the amount of available on -street <br /> parking; the extent of their use should be balanced against the demand for on- street parking. <br /> Other parking changes can be utilized to either facilitate traffic (parking removal to facilitate <br /> turns or improve visibility) or to slow traffic. Parking bays may increase street construction and <br /> maintenance costs. <br /> * *INSERT PHOTO ** <br />
