Abstract
The research examined the Problems of Parking in Commercial Zones within Wuse II District, FCC, Abuja and the explanations with a view to establishing challenges and providing appropriate recommendations. Data for the study were obtained through a semi-structured questionnaire, observation, monitoring, recording and document review. A total of 86 questionnaires were administered through Stratified Random Sampling. The Nominal Scale was used to classify the various commercial activities and their parking characteristics. The findings from the study showed that the parking problems within the study area were associated with Off-Street and On-Street parking. The On-Street parking predominantly occurs around the Converted Commercial Developments. Among the various commercial activities in the area, Plazas had the highest off-street and on-street parking problems. Among the Streets, Aminu Kano Crescent had the most parking problems. The factors responsible for parking problems were identified to include, inadequate parking facilities, lack of multi storied parking facilities, non-implementation of the FCC transportation policy, and poor enforcement of development control guidelines. The study concluded by suggesting the management strategies for the efficient management of the transportation system in Wuse II, review of Wuse District Plan, introduction of public parking garages, introduction of parking charges, development of mass transit systems, and strengthening of the Department of Development Control
