The last meter to any destination is parking. With the average driver wasting 150 hours every year searching for parking in London, the cost of traffic congestion to the UK economy is a staggering £7 billion.

The AppyWay Parking API increases the probability for drivers of finding parking on-street with insights on where to park at any given time and location.

The data returned by the AppyWay Parking API can be rendered on a map as it contains the geospatial information of parking restrictions, it can also support any other product experience around parking.

The data covers Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) data for Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) in 476 UK towns and cities and enables searching for parking rules and prices, and fetching geospatial data for map-based applications.

The rules and regulations governing parking, loading, and everything in between can be very complicated. The AppyWay API seeks to abstract away this complexity and provide answers to key questions, such as:

• Where is it authorised to park at a specific time for a specific duration?
• How long can I park for?
• How much will it cost?
• How much will I have to walk from each suitable parking option to my destination?

You can search for answers to these questions within areas of interest and periods of time. These answers can vary depending on a number of factors, including:

• Whether looking to park (leave the vehicle unattended) or load (stay with the vehicle)
• The desired parking or loading duration
• The vehicle driven
• Any permits held
