A gps-based parking system for Lagos, Nigeria # Lagos ParkPay A GPS-based mobile parking payment system for Lagos, Nigeria. ## The Problem Lagos has 15+ million people and no formal parking infrastructure. No meters. No digital payments. No enforcement system. Drivers navigate chaos daily across the city. ## The Solution A location-aware app that lets drivers: - Find designated parking zones on a map - Pay digitally via Paystack - Receive SMS confirmation of their session - Get alerts before their time expires Enforcement officers get a simple lookup tool to verify active sessions by zone. ## Built For - Drivers in Lagos who want a faster, cheaper parking experience - Lagos State government agencies (LASTMA) seeking modern infrastructure - Private car park operators wanting digital payment systems ## Status 🚧 In development — learning phase (Month 1 of 6) ## Tech Stack (planned) - Python + Flask (backend) - Paystack API (payments) - Google Maps / Leaflet.js (zones and location) - SQLite → PostgreSQL (database) - React Native (mobile app, later phase) ## Developer Aruoture — Economist, Television Anchor, and builder.
