Pavement parking ban!

[planenut]

Two houses opposite me, on a terraced side of the road, each have parents and two youngsters, and they must each have their own vehicle......so eight cars for two houses, that doesn't help.

Should bring the Japanese system in - nowhere to park it off the public road, not allowed a car.

Some councils have actually marked parking areas. Half on the road and half on the pavement.

Seems, at the moment, to be working for everybody.

Most new build properties now have to comply with local planning regulations requiring provided parking.

I agree with what you are saying.


My Wife is confined to a wheelchair and has a powerchair. I have lost count on the times my wife cannot get to where she needs to go. Because some-one as park there vehicle on the pavement.


If you cannot park on the road with-out cousing an obstuction, then go and park where it is safe to do so, and walk back. That is what legs are for walking with.

Won't that mean they may have to walk another thirty feet?

how many cars do they provide parking for?
my son in laws place has parking for 2 cars, his and my daughters.
I'm visiting, where do I park?
unusually my wife also visits our daughter but due to circumstances arrives in her car, where does she park?
A mates comes round, where does he park?

Nowadays the children also have cars.
On roads where two cars cant pass I understand why people park partly on the pavement but don't agree with blocking it so a pushchair cannot pass.

perhaps our new build houses need parking for 4 cars and the roads wide enough for 2 or even 3 cars to pass. Also garages need to be properly wide enough for a car to fit into. Seen lots of garages where you would struggle to get into and out of the car when its in the garage.

While we are on this subject, the people that get me are those on busy streets with perfectly good (and big enough) drives but park on the road or pavement

Nobody has a right to stop on a public road, therefore no right to park on it. the fact that someone has their own private parking does not mean that they must use it.

All drivers are created equal, but that doesn't mean they all have the same ability to use common sense.
