The use of wheel clamping for the enforcement of parking prevention policy is described. From the experience gained in Israel and Europe, this device allows more successful execution of an aggressive enforcement policy with relatively restricted means than does any conventional tactic. Where wheel clamping has been employed, the level of traffic regulation compliance has risen and traffic flow has improved. Because of the strictness of this enforcement means, a selected and gradual use is recommended. At first, it should be intended only for serious parking offenses that cause maximum obstruction. The wheel clamp enables effective enforcement of parking prohibition so that traffic management plans can be implemented that authories hesitated to implement in the past because of low levels of enforcement.
