Parking on pavements MEGATHREAD

[geared]

It'd also help if kids had the sense to not run out into the road, especially from between two parked cars.

 

Nearly hit one myself this week, lucky for him I could see they were playing football on the pavement/street so slowed right down incase they did something stupid.

 

The next moment the stupid kid ran out right in front of me, whilst his mother looked on and just shook her head

Dont you realise you are obstructing , wheelchairs, blind people,pushchairs.You can cause a major incident. it is illegal. think before you park

we have to park half on the pavement on my road but the other sides clear or no traffic could get up or down,so its not all bad as 1sides clear...think most narrow side streets are the same.

its dangerous to cross roads.the pavements are primarly for pedestrians. no excuse if you cant park outside your house park somewhere else. you can kill , you would probably be on a manslaughter charge. it is illegal to obstruct.no excuses

I will park my car fully on the road from now on!

My appologies to anyone needing an ambulance or fire appliance further up the road as they will no longer be able to get past my correctly parked car.

... but on the other hand, it does keep them dirty old canines from fouling the grass verges...

No you really wouldn't. Go look at the definition of manslaughter.

 

I agree it's annoying though.

Would you rather that cars didn't park on the pavement and blocked the roads off by parking fully on the road?

On some streets it is safer to park half on the pavement otherwise emergency vehicles can't get through.

.....this means you Chatanoga Pizza, Hillsborough Corner. Ignore double yellows on a tramline, block the pavement. I go to Pizza & co instead.

This is really one of those points where you don't realize what a total git you are parking on the pavement until you have to push someone around in a wheel chair. Just getting up and down over the curb where it isn't dropped is bad enough.

 

Some of the new housing are the worst the houses have drives but the roads are so narrow there isn't room for 2 cars parked on the road (the second car or visitors) opposite each other. The planners that allowed roads to be so narrow should be crippled and have to take there chances, see how they like it.
