Parking on Pavements After Hours

[Black Sheep]

Will be interesting to see how this works out.

Edinburgh is set to become the first city in Scotland to completely ban cars from parking on the pavement.

Under plans drawn up by the city council, drivers who mount the kerb will face a £100 fine.

Double parking and parking at dropped kerbs will also be banned - although there will be an exemption for delivery drivers.

National regulations will come into force on 11 December, with Edinburgh's enforcement to start in January 2024.

Let's see how that works out, especially seeing as a lot of streets are not designed for on-street parking and don't have any room for off-street parking.

I guess the main advantage Edinburgh has over a lot of other cities/towns in the UK is they have a pretty well-connected public transport offering.

Unavoidable in some instances. Not sure what the solution is but it's not banning it.

Seeing it more and more.

Inconsiderate motorists blocking pavements and never think of the elderly in mobility scooters, disabled people in wheelchairs or mothers with pushchairs, who often have to use the road to bypass these obstacles.
