On November 11, 2026, with the approval of the Shanghai Municipal Government, the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Transportation Commission, and the Municipal Finance Bureau jointly issued the “Notice on Optimizing Our City's Road Parking Fee Policy”, which will take effect on November 18, 2026. This is the first time that road parking charges have been comprehensively adjusted since Shanghai issued implementation opinions on motor vehicle management in 2005, covering various aspects such as short-term free parking, shortening of billing units, division of toll areas, daytime and nighttime charging standards, and monthly parking for residents. Among them, the most notable change is free parking for a short period of time. According to the new regulations, motor vehicles can be parked for 15 minutes at a time in road parking lots for free 2 or 3 times a day. At the same time, the smart road parking lot billing unit was shortened to 15 minutes, and the daytime charging standard was structurally adjusted, and tiered prices will be set for long-term parking.
