3.8.2 Bicycle parking
To encourage and support shoppers’ use of bicycles instead of private vehicles, bicycle parking spaces should be
provided at convenient locations at the shopping mall.
Parking layout and circulation should also be planned and designed to provide safe and convenient bicycle paths.
Designated bicycle lanes should be introduced where possible. Safe pedestrian routes should also be provided to
connect the bicycle parking areas to the shopping mall entrances.

Amenities for shopping malls and shop spaces
3.8.1 Parking
Where parking for customers is provided, it is important to provide parking spaces and charging facilities for
electric vehicles.
Providing a smart parking system can reduce unnecessary driving of cars around the carpark while looking for empty
parking spaces. This will reduce the amount of vehicular traffic, and reduce the pollution emitted by driving vehicles.
