Following the implementation of the new regulations under the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act in Year 112 (2023), it has become more difficult to meet the temporary parking needs for vehicles such as taxis and trucks. In addition, as Taipei City’s population continues to age, public demand for long-term care services and rehabilitation buses has increased. To resolve this problem, the Taipei City Government Department of Transportation has pioneered a multi-vehicle shared parking concept for commercial vehicles. Taxis, trucks, rehabilitation buses, long-term care vehicles, and other designated commercial vehicles are permitted to temporarily park in these spaces. A total of 256 “Shared Commercial Temporary Parking Zones” have been established across the city.

The city’s “Shared Commercial Temporary Parking Zones” feature newly designed signage. The upper section of each sign displays icons indicating the permitted vehicle types. Beginning in Year 115 (2026), the city will officially regulate the permitted vehicle categories and parking time limit to 20 minutes for trucks (excluding passenger-cargo dual-purpose vehicles), rehabilitation buses, long-term care vehicles (such as accessible welfare vehicles and mobile bathing vehicles), and taxis. Each space can be identified easily by public-service drivers and the residents with clear marks such as the words “Shared Commercial Temporary Parking Zone” and yellow curb marking lines. These zones are available 24 hours a day for temporary passenger drop-off/pick-up and loading/unloading.

Taipei City Parking Management Office has also added location details of these zones to the Taipei “Good Parking” website to help users become more familiar with the system. Drivers of rehabilitation buses, long-term care vehicles (including accessible welfare vehicles and mobile bathing vehicles), taxis, and trucks are encouraged to utilize these spaces.

The Taipei City Parking Management Office also reminds the public that, aside from the vehicle types listed above, passenger-cargo dual-purpose vehicles and other vehicle types are not permitted to park in these zones. Unauthorized vehicles should not occupy these spaces. Those needing temporary parking are advised to use off-street parking lots or designated yellow curb areas where temporary stopping is permitted. In addition, taxi drivers should be advised that these shared temporary parking zones may not be used by taxis for queuing or dispatch purposes.
