Coastal Parking Management and Solutions Across the UK

With large influxes of visitors arriving to coastal areas at peak times of the year, managing coastal car parks and parking facilities can be a demanding task. Car parks by the coast and near waterfronts must ensure they provide appropriate payment options, enhanced safety for driver’s vehicles, and effective signage to support positive traffic flow.

Although coastal car parks are heavily affected by seasonal demand, car parks managed by the coast should not be neglected during the quieter months. By installing the latest car park technology such as electric car charging hubs, and considering sustainable options, such as solar powered payment terminals, coastal car parks can be a reliable source of income all year round.

Bransby Wilson’s approach to Coastal Car Parking Management

Bransby Wilson are industry leaders in delivering effective car park solutions and management by the coast. With experience spanning over thirty years, we have implemented bespoke coastal parking solutions throughout the UK and understand the unique challenges organisations face when solving car parking problems by the coast.

Decreasing traffic congestion by revising coastal car park layouts, implementing stronger parking enforcement to improve safety and avoid car park misuse, and considering the most effective form of parking technology to suit visitors needs, we make sure that car parks by the coast are as efficient and future proofed as possible.

The benefits of implementing effective coastal parking management and solutions

Coastal car parks, car parks at the seaside and those at marinas or waterfronts can see lots of benefits from effective parking management including:

1. Stronger parking enforcement through installing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems and improving data capture
2. Setting up dynamic signage enabling visitors to see how many spaces are available in the car park before entering
3. Fitting contactless payment terminals to provide visitors with flexibility when paying for parking
4. Installing electric vehicle charging points and stations allowing visitors to charge their vehicle alongside parking
5. Using solar technology to power your car park sustainably supporting the environment
6. Reductions in traffic congestion at peak times by reviewing the layout of your coastal car park and exploring signage choices

How Bransby Wilson Solved All the Parking Problems for Cotswold Waterpark Trust

With six car parks, spread over 40 square miles and covering stunning wetland landscapes, Cotswold Waterpark Trust had several issues affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of their car parks.

From certain car parks having no supply of mains electricity, poor data collection options, and ineffective enforcement to ensure visitors paid for their parking, Cotswold Waterpark Trust needed bespoke solutions to answer all these concerns.

By utilising solar energy, re-designing parking signage, and installing ANPR systems across each site to improve data tracking and enforcement, we were able to solve all the Cotswold Waterpark Trust’s problems and increase revenue.
