Parking -Think of Others


Good day all -

Inconsiderate parking  can be a significant issue in residential and urban areas, affecting accessibility and safety. Here are words of advice for vehicle users to encourage more considerate parking behaviour:

General Parking Guidelines

 

1. *Observe Signage**: Always pay attention to parking signs and regulations in your area. Some places have specific rules about where and how you can park.

 

2. **Don’t Block Driveways**: Always ensure that you are not obstructing residential driveways. Blocking someone’s driveway can prevent them from entering or leaving their home and may result in a parking fine or seizure of the vehicle by police.

 

3. **Stay Off the Pavement**: When parking, make sure that your vehicle does not extend onto the pavement. This ensures that pedestrians can walk safely without having to navigate around parked vehicles.

 

4. **Consider Neighbours**: If you're parking in a residential area, think about your neighbours’ needs. Ensure that your vehicle does not encroach on their space or make accessing their home difficult.

 

5. **Use Common Sense**: If you find a space that seems convenient but might be a hassle for others (near pedestrian crossings or bus stops), consider choosing a different spot.
