Revamp for parking lots aimed at easing drivers' frustrations

Parking lots at department stores and supermarkets are to be extensively renovated to make them more driver-friendly.

According to plans released on Tuesday, all large commercial lots and garages will this year be fitted with parking guidance systems, which can automatically count vacant spaces and direct motorists.

By the end of 2015, officials with the capital's commerce commission also hope to have 90 percent of the lots rebuilt to allow more space, including 95 percent of those within the Second Ring Road.
