Abstract

We propose a new way to measure the share of traffic that is cruising for parking: observe how many cars pass a newly vacated space before a driver parks in it. This statistical method provides a quick, cheap and approximate way to estimate what share of traffic is cruising. Using 876 observations of newly vacated on-street parking spaces in central Stuttgart, we estimated that 15 per cent of the traffic was cruising for parking.
