Pavement parking fines
Around here it's Uni students who park legally, but residents who park illegally. I hope our council starts to take action too.

Re: Pavement parking fines
It's a bit of a grey area though - is it illegal to park on the pavement if there are no signs telling you not to?

It has been illegal to drive on the pavement since 1883 and section 72 of the Highways Act 1835 is used in the current Highway Code under rule 145, but finding a car on the pavement won't always mean a fine or points as "driving on the pavement" was not witnessed. Earlier this year the Government set out plans in their Accessibility action plan which could change the rules surrounding pavement parking. Under section 8 49-51 it outlines the problem of pavement parking and the action going forward. -8.49 As set out in the 2017 manifesto, where you live, shop, go out, travel or park your car should not be determined by your disability. Vehicles parked on pavements can cause significant problems and potential danger to people who are blind or partially sighted, and to wheelchair users, among others. -8.50 Local authorities have the powers to introduce pavement parking restrictions where they consider it appropriate and the Department for Transport has taken steps to assist them in this. -8.51 We convened a roundtable meeting in 2016 where it was identified that the major concerns affecting the ability to introduce and enforce pavement parking prohibitions (outside of London) were issues relating to the processing of Traffic Regulation Orders. We are planning to launch a survey in autumn 2017 in order to gather evidence about the current situation, the costs and timescales for processing TROs, and information about options for change. |

Who needs fines when you've installed "cat claws".

As with everything that looks a cheap, straight forward cure for a common problem, the 'hidden extras' involved in implementing the idea make it not so economical. Using them around the areas of potential terrorist targets may work . . . although if concrete barricades and police armed with H&K machine guns doesn't deter them nothing will I guess. |

The simple fact of life in many places is that if people did not park partly on pavements, no traffic (other than moterbikes) would get through. |
Re: Pavement parking fines
Less cars is the answer. If people didn't feel the need for several cars per household it would solve a lot of problems. Tax the hell out of extra cars in each house. Oh, and improve public transport, make it cheap too. It's a revolutionary idea, wonder why nobody has ever thought of it ??
