The Street Vendors Act 2014 mandates the formation of town vending committees (TVC) to survey all local street vendors at least once every five years.

Street vending is typically self-regulated by informal but codified norms of space allocation. Vendors, in most cases, allocate/occupy spots based on the rule of first possession.

regData, an initiative of the RegData, an initiative of the Mercatus Center, is an effort to quantify various aspects of regulation.
