Re: Cars parked on pavements
What is needed is consistency. In our road, it has been custom and practice to park with two wheels on the pavement on the east side of the road while parking normally on the west side. This evolved naturally over three decades without any "help" from the local authority from residents using common sense. A couple of years ago, the council parking martinets decided to penalise anyone parking with two wheels on the pavement (ie - the entire east side of the one mile long road). For almost a week there was a continuous traffic jam all the way along the road as with cars parked entirely on the roadway on both sides of the road, there was not room for two cars to pass each other and there were no passing spaces. As a result, and after serious complaints from the emergency services and delivery drivers, who could not get their vehicles down the road at all, the council backtracked and let the situation revert to the common sense approach initiated by the residents over 30+ years. They refused to withdraw the parking tickets they issued over those few days until a massive publicity campaign in the local press forced them to do so.Re: Cars parked on pavements
The problem is that there are too many vehicles about today. The family across from us have a van and two cars. The van parks in their drive, one car in front of their house and the second car in front of their neighbour's house. What will happen when all households have 3 vehicles heaven knows !Re: Cars parked on pavements
