Confusing curbside regulations

Cities across the world share a similar challenge: understanding how their curb space has been designated, what the exact regulations are, and when or where these regulations apply.
This makes curbside management difficult. Signage is confusing and only provides information to drivers at the end of their journey, resulting in cruising for parking, rather than providing this information to drivers in advance and letting them plan ahead.

Increasing demand for a scarce resource

Rideshare apps, connected and automated vehicles, and other emerging trends in mobility are generating significant demands on the already limited curb space in cities. Add this to the existing growing needs of local residents, businesses, visitors, and couriers, and the result is an increase in demand at the curb that cannot be addressed by simply increasing supply.

Inefficient usage due to a lack of information

With information on curbside regulations only available once you arrive at the curb, drivers, rideshare users, and delivery vehicles compete for a handful of on-street spaces while just a block or two away curb space sits empty for most of the day.

The curbside is changing rapidly

City planners need to respond quickly to evolving circumstances and mandates, especially in times of uncertainty, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. Current methods to communicate curbside use changes, which include on-street signage, guidance on a website, or even mail-outs, are outdated and often ineffective. Digital infrastructure is the key to the future of the curb.
