On November 11, 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 be officially implemented on November 18, 2026. This is the first time since Shanghai issued implementation opinions on motor vehicle management in 2005. The new regulations are clear: parking is free for a single motor vehicle within 15 minutes at a time in a single parking lot, 2 times a day on weekdays, and 3 times a day on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays for all citizens; fees for more than 15 minutes are billed from the beginning of admission. Short-term free parking does not apply to temporary road parking lots that are billed on a pay-per-use basis. Smart road parking lots use 15 minutes as a punctual billing unit, and manual toll road parking lots use 30 minutes as an hourly billing unit; tiered price management is carried out according to the length of parking during the day, and hourly billing and fee capping management are carried out during the nighttime period.
