Non-residents "must pay 1.5 euros per hour for parking in these places."
De Zárate has indicated that the implantation of the areas of residents would be progressive and in any case would not be done until after the summer, since it is necessary to modify the ordinance of Mobility and the accompanying fiscal.
The head of Mobility added that this measure is complemented by "the creation of deterrent parking spaces at city entrances connected with urban bus lines so that people living in other locations in the region and working in Benidorm can park their Vehicles in these free parking lots and then move to their jobs on public transport. " Among the locations for these deterrent car parks are the immediate vicinity of the future intermodal station planned by the Consell next to the bus terminal, land in El Moralet and La Cala, or already existing in the Waterfall.
