CNBC AI News – May 30, 2025 – Whispers of free parking are always music to the ears of drivers, and recent online chatter suggesting a dramatic overhaul of parking fees in Chengdu, China, sent ripples of excitement through social media. Specifically, some users were buzzing about a proposed regulation, allegedly set to take effect June 1, 2025, that would make all roadside parking spots in the city entirely free.
The rumor quickly ignited a flurry of positive reactions, with some netizens jokingly suggesting the initiative would prompt a mass relocation to Chengdu. The online claims, reportedly circulating widely, stated: “Under a new Chengdu parking regulation, commencing June 1, 2025, all roadside parking bays will no longer be subject to fees, allowing citizens to park for free.”
However, the potential for such an attractive urban perk quickly met reality. The official response, issued via the “Chengdu Parking APP” on the WeChat platform – managed by Chengdu Transportation Investment Smart Parking Industry Development Co., Ltd. – swiftly clarified the situation.
The company issued a strong statement unequivocally dismissing the claims as “false information.” The announcement confirmed that they had “not received notification from higher authorities regarding the cessation of parking fees.”
The statement further explained that the temporary roadside parking facilities in the central districts of Chengdu are planned and established under the unified guidelines of the Chengdu Public Security Traffic Management Department in accordance with relevant provisions of the “Implementation Measures of the People’s Republic of China Road Traffic Safety Law” in Sichuan Province. The company handles operational management related to parking order and fee collection. All charges adhere to the fee standards outlined in the “Notice on Adjusting Differential Charging Standards for Temporary Roadside Parking of Motor Vehicles in Urban Areas” (Chengdu Development and Reform Fee [2011] No. 1334), issued by the Chengdu Municipal Development and Reform Commission.
