Parking lot roads not working

[amyrr26]

Im using both parking lot roads and BIG parking lots for my parking. for some reason cars are not parking in the spaces. I have turn on parking AI in TMPE but still nobody is using the parking spaces. Parking using ploppable parking works fine so parking AI is okay. Am i missing something?

To use the Parking ot Roads you need to do two things:

1) Build the parking lot roads
2) place the parking spots.

In the end you need to have roads with clearly visible parking spaces. (white lines)

It sounds as if you didn't do the second part. Can you confirm that you did or didn't? Perhaps one or more screenshots?

Is the problem ONLY with the Parking Lot Roads, or with both Roads and BIG Parking?

If only Roads, did you use the provided connecting roadway to go from a standard road to the "parking" road? (Are you using the "parking" road a a main street, or as a Parking Lot, with no thru-traffic?)

Hi i have not had any problems before this. I have build the parking lot roads and also place the functional parking spots.

i find both are having problems. yes all connected up with the parking lot roads. Its weird as i have been using these parking lot roads since the beginning but this is the first time im encountering this problem.

The only other reason for not using the parking spots is because there's no place for your cims to go in that area. And if there is, there are allready more than enough parking spaces availlable as part of the roads or buildings that are located there. Perhaps if your city increases in population will these larger parking lots get used.

Some screenshots and or a savegame could help with this.

I actually didnt turn on the ai parking in TMPE until later when i was building the downtown. I thought by just let it run for a while they would eventually fill up bt it didnt.
One thing im seeing is that when i click on the parking spot its turned off. but when i try to turn it on it wont let me. its bizarre actually. Never had this problem before.

Any ideas on how to share screenshots here?

Upload the screenshots to your profile, just like you did with this screenshot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2582962630
You can then link the URL of the screenshot (visible in the top-left corner when the screenshot is visible in its own window) into a comment section here, or simply post a comment that you've uploaded some screenshots to your profile.

I am having the same issues as @amyrr26. For BPL, cars enter the parking lot roads and go back out. Oddly pedestrians are waling through the parking spots instead of using the sidewalks.

If they are turning around from the parking lot roads, have you checked the nodes and the pathway from one side to the next. I had a similar issue where they turned around and go back out. I checked the TPME paths and nodes and connected them from one side to the next using TPME paths, then they went through and parked.

yeah the pathways are okay. they are driving in but not parking. It seems that when i select the parking lot, its turned off. i tried to select it to turn on bt not able to. u can refer to the screenshot i have posted in this thread.

Managed to fix the problem. I think accidentally did some changes using BOB. Place all your parking assets and select BOB. Once selected, find the parking space and replace them with the parking assets. Cars should be parking now.
