The document discusses implementing an effective yet low-cost parking control system for a residential condominium with limited parking. Existing solutions like car stickers/decals and parking barriers were deemed ineffective or too costly. The proposed solution is a dashboard parking ID corresponding to each parking spot. Vehicles enter by surrendering an access card and getting a parking ID, and exit by returning the ID and getting the access card back. This solution was easy to implement at low cost and received well, allowing parking to be monitored and illegal parking prevented. Guidelines will be provided and inspections conducted to sustain the new system.
