 |
|
Local authorities have been relieved of the requirement to indicate the
time-limits and other conditions relevant to any specific
restricted-stopping area (e.g. single-yellow line or loading zone)on a sign
located at that zone, being permitted instead to provide only blanket
signage for a controlled parking zone (CPZ), the onus being on the driver to
find where the CPZ signage is.
Drivers unfamiliar to an area are increasingly being fined due to being
unable to find - or in some cases, properly interpret - the CPZ signage.
This petition calls for the re-instatement of specific signage of all
parking, stopping and loading restrictions, the onus being on the local
authority to provide clarity to the driver such that the offences do not
occur, rather than creating confusion and opacity which results in more
offences (i.e. unwanted parking congestion) and fines (i.e. income for the
councils). The cost of the improved signage to be hypothecated from parking
fees and fines.
Sign up, and get Councils to tell you when you are going to commit a parking
offence in advance of issuing the ticket!!

Nuts to that, just register your car to a fake name.
Free parking :-)

Or in the case of my Samba - the keeper I bought it off hasn't bothered to
send off the V5.
Maybe it's time I hit those speed cameras. Or I would if the car worked.
