Increased revenues? That sounds like a prime example of the government finding new and creative ways to tax the people. I wonder if they're going to use that money to improve the town or just line their own pockets.

Haha, I bet the local government is loving all that sweet, sweet parking revenue. Maybe they'll use it to build a solid gold statue of the mayor or something.

Reducing enforcement costs is great, but it doesn't necessarily mean the system is more effective. The revenues have increased, so it seems the new policies are working as intended.

Decreased stress for traffic wardens is a nice side effect, but not really a measure of effectiveness. The real goal was to manage the parking situation, not make the wardens' lives easier.

The main shopping streets being less congested is definitely a measure of effectiveness. The whole point was to reduce traffic and improve access for businesses and customers.
