If your future plans include celebrating the New Year 2025 in Moscow, it is recommended to think about parking in the capital in advance. On the eve of the holidays, the number of residents will only increase with each hour. Many will arrive in their own cars, so the demand for parking spaces will be high.
There are over eighty thousand paid parking spaces in Moscow, but for twelve million residents, this is not enough. Also, over three million tourists come here every year. Parking becomes even more difficult around the holidays.
New Year is considered one of the main holidays in the capital, but there is news about parking by 2025. The article will examine the issue in more detail and provide useful information.
Parking prices in Moscow
Today, the cost of an hour of parking in the center is 80 rubles. That's how much it costs to park between the Garden Ring and the Boulevard Ring. On the most difficult sections of the Garden Ring, a differentiated tariff is used. The first thirty minutes cost fifty rubles, and each subsequent hour one hundred and fifty.
For the Boulevard Ring, rates vary from one hundred to two hundred rubles per hour. Parking on 330 streets in Moscow will cost three hundred and eighty rubles during the day and two hundred rubles at night per hour. In all zones, five minutes are given to make a payment and leave the parking zone.
How much will parking cost for New Year 2025
Hundreds of thousands of people come to the capital for the New Year, thereby increasing the flow of cars several times. The capital's mayor's office has prepared a gift for the upcoming New Year. Understanding how important this holiday is for the population, they decided to make parking free for eight holiday days.
From January 1 to January 8, during the New Year holidays, parking fees will be abolished in all administrative districts. Even within the purple zone, parking will be free, although on normal days it will cost three hundred and eighty rubles per hour.
However, it is important to note that parking lots equipped with barriers will, as before, be paid with the same rates. There are no clearly marked prices for such parking lots with barriers. You can find out the cost at the stand near the parking lot.
The main thing to remember is that on the night of January 8-9, parking will again be paid. You should plan your trip in advance to avoid troubles and unnecessary expenses.
During the New Year holidays, residents and guests of the capital will be allowed to leave their vehicles near attractions. In many parts of the city, there will be fairs, recreation areas, festive areas and ice rinks. You can leave your vehicle near any of these areas.
It is worth considering in your plans that during the holidays some highways will be closed for pedestrian zones. The traffic pattern in the capital will shift, so motorists are advised to look for a detour to the selected points in advance.
The changes will affect the following streets:
- Moss.
- Tverskaya.
- Okhotny Ryad.
New parking rules
To solve the problem of the lack of parking spaces, a decision was made to increase the cost of hourly parking in Moscow. The mayor of the city explained this decision by citing the established practice from other countries. In Europe, the cost of a parking space is quite high.
The tariff increase will allow:
- Reduce the number of offenses.
- The traffic speed will increase, so there will always be free parking spaces.
- The turnover of machines will increase, and the old ones will be replaced by new ones.
- Traffic flows will be reduced.
- The use of public transport will increase.
Free Parking Days
However, New Year is not the only time when free parking is announced throughout the capital.
If you want to visit Moscow on other holidays, here is a list of days when you can park for free:
- February 23.
- March 8th.
- Russia Day.
- National Unity Day.
- Every Sunday of the year.
On the first Saturday after the above-mentioned holidays, parking is free throughout the capital. On such days, car owners can obtain permission to pick up their vehicles from towing sites.
On all holidays, except for the first and seventh of January, a special unit will work. The administrative road inspection unit will be on duty around the clock. Special parking lots will work around the clock, seven days a week.
You can come to the parking lot at any time, meet the inspector and pick up your vehicle. The inspection noted that during the holidays, parking control will be doubled. Therefore, they recommended that car owners carefully monitor the road, parking spaces and tariffs.
Where Park for free during the New Year holidays
A couple of years ago, a study was conducted to determine the percentage of paid parking in the city. As a result, it turned out that only three percent of all parking spaces are paid. The largest number of paid parking spaces are concentrated in busy areas of the city.
These areas primarily include the center and places with the largest population throughout Moscow. You can be prepared for the fact that parking spaces in the city center will be occupied for the entire New Year holidays. Free parking is the fastest to fill up.
Tourists who come to the capital for the holidays leave their cars for a few days in a free parking lot, and then check into the nearest hotel and walk around on foot. If you urgently need to park, it is recommended to go to a parking lot with a barrier, since the rates there will not change, then there will be significantly fewer people. Most motorists will want to save their money and will look for an opportunity to park their vehicle somewhere in a free parking lot.
Also, outside the central highways, there will be almost half-empty parking lots, so you can drive there and leave your car. It is better to think about this issue in advance, so as not to spoil your holiday, since the excitement in the city will be great.
Categories of beneficiaries
Free parking is also available to members of a privileged group. There are four categories:
- Veterans.
- Participants in the great defense of Moscow.
- Disabled people.
- Former concentration camp prisoners.
In order for a disabled person to enter the parking lot for free, he must complete the following procedure:
Call the dispatcher by pressing the button or contact the controller.
Find out about the availability of preferential parking spaces and whether they are free. They are marked with the sign "Disabled".
Present a certificate of disability and an identity document.
The car must have the appropriate "Disabled" sign. If there are no such places in the parking lot or they are occupied, then entry to the parking lot is carried out under general conditions. In order to stop anywhere in the capital and at any time for free, a beneficiary must obtain a special permit.
This is done through Gosuslugi. In addition to cars, free parking spaces are also provided to motorcyclists.
