An average driver spends around 17 hours per year searching for a parking spot
Parking, especially in overcrowded urban areas, is becoming a big hassle for people. So much so that an average driver spends around 17 hours per year searching for spots on streets, in parking lots, and garages. This adds up to an estimated $345 per person in wasted time, fuel, and emissions.
Even the thought of having to park or the possibility of not finding any available parking spots makes people stressed out. Nearly half of Americans see parking as a tension-inducing event, while 43% admit that this stress turns into road rage and sometimes into verbal arguments.
The stress can increase even more if going around in circles is making drivers late. 63% of people said that they were running behind schedule because they had trouble finding a spot to leave their car in.
To avoid parking challenges and issues, 75% of drivers have skipped a social event because they knew parking was going to be a hassle. Meanwhile, 63% even refrained from going to shopping malls and sports centers just so as not to face parking frustrations.
