Meanwhile, in large Indian cities such as Delhi and Mumbai, it can be very tough to find parking. This often leads to drivers parking in unauthorised spots, causing traffic congestion and receiving heavy fines from the traffic department. In some cases, vehicles are even seized by the authorities. The government is addressing this issue by developing organised parking facilities in various cities to accommodate vehicles near markets, popular tourist attractions, and metro stations.
However, finding these parking spaces can still be difficult as they are often situated away from these areas. Thankfully, Google Maps offers a feature that can help in such situations. You can use Google Maps to locate available parking spaces. If you're interested in this feature, here's a guide on how to find the nearest parking spot using Google Maps.
