Abstract
Today, the problem of lack of parking space, especially in the central areas of the city, plagues most large cities. Drivers are always looking for a suitable place to stop their vehicles. One of the most popular types of parking by drivers is the park on the side of the road, and how to park it is considered as one of the factors affecting the performance of the road. Also, many factors affect the duration of park maneuvers in the margins of the passages, which disrupts the saturation flow rate passing through the passage. Therefore, it is important to study the effect of on-street parking on the performance of main thoroughfares. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of personal characteristics of passenger car drivers on on-street parking violations. In this regard, 4 streets in Rasht city (Lakani, Golsar, Nawab, Takhti) were selected based on different objectives. Also, the peak hours were determined by examining the peak time through live traffic images on Google. Variables such as driver age, sex and coverage, park distance, intersection, vehicle, pick-up time and weather condition were considered as possible factors affecting the double park violation. As a result, the longest park distance recorded at 1013 is 150 to 250 meters, which indicates that there is no parking space on the streets per se. Also, most of the double park violations take place in rainy weather, which shows the effect of rain on the double park violation.
