New parking system in Budapest: Short-stay spaces, courier zones, K+R stops introduced
Change language:
Practical new parking options have appeared in several districts of Budapest. As part of the GRETA project, the Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) has implemented developments aimed at streamlining traffic, goods delivery, and short-term parking. In the Corvin Quarter, half-hour waiting spots and dedicated parking spaces for food couriers have been created, while Újpest now boasts a new loading zone and a K+R (Kiss and Ride) stop.
Order out of chaos in Corvin Quarter
Irregular parking and loading have long posed a problem in one of the busiest parts of District VIII, frequently hindering both pedestrians and cyclists. Thanks to these latest interventions, seven new loading zones have been established on streets, including Vajdahunyad, Futó, Tömő, Bókay, Lósy and Práter, and the first half-hour parking spaces have appeared as well.
The new parking spaces on Futó, Nagy Templom, Bókay and Leonardo da Vinci streets are specifically intended to make quick errands—such as parcel collection or brief shopping stops—easier. Corvin Promenade has also been officially declared a pedestrian-cyclist zone, making the area more orderly and safer for those on foot or bicycle.
Designated parking for food couriers
As a pilot, dedicated waiting spots for bicycle couriers have been set up at Corvin Plaza’s Vajdahunyad Street entrance. Only couriers are permitted to use these points; waiting by motor vehicle is strictly prohibited. The goal is to ensure couriers can wait for orders in a safer and more organised environment.
