Țara în care nu poți cumpăra o mașină fără loc de parcare. Regula este obligatorie în marile orașe

In Japan, a unique rule requires drivers to prove they have a parking space before purchasing a car, aimed at managing urban traffic. This regulation is particularly enforced in densely populated areas, where parking availability is crucial. The proof is provided through a document called shako shomeisho, which certifies the existence of a parking spot. While not new, the rule varies by region and is not uniformly applied across the country. Even kei cars, popular compact vehicles, are subject to similar regulations in major cities. The system complements Japan's extensive public transport network and car-sharing services, suggesting potential benefits for congested Italian cities, though public transport gaps remain a challenge.
