Yes and from memory the government have been sitting on the results. This was a question to the community mostly.
Right, wasn't sure if someone had just posted an old link. My €2. I'm in favour of it in some places. If a certain amount of pavement can be left clear, for the sake of the argument 1.5m, then yes. If that can't be achieved (narrow pavements or street furniture that stops that being achieved) then no, you cannot park there.
I see this every day between Ware and Hertford with cars parked and blocking pavements on both sides of the road. Some of those houses have front gardens. Some of those houses also have rear gardens and a garage at the back. They could adapt them for their cars.
In Leighton Buzzard, my ex has a small garage block at the end of her row of 3 houses. There is space to put a car in front of the garages and one in it. She parks on the road in front of her house. The 'drive' is empty and her garage is full of crap.
Some people are just selfish
The government needs to make a policy though, instead of just kicking the can down the partially blocked road.
oh god yes, the people who park on the road when they have multi car drives to save having to shuffle cars every now and then do my nut in.
My neighbors and I have the same driveway shape and size.
I can fit around 6-7 cars in mine if I valet for everyone.
Although, that's more like 4 cars if I just let random guests do their thing.My neighbor calls it quits after the first car and then uses the street for their other 2.
I also don't really understand why you'd need 3+ cars for 2 people when one of them works from home and the other is retired, but they could at least learn to park them.
Doubly so in the winter when the street ones get buried in snow when the plow comes by. Shrug.
It your using them every day I can get (but don't agree) with the hassle of shuffling them. But if they are still and your just reserving space you don't need them your a *unt
They get out of the house maybe once a week and the ones in the street get used maybe once every other month. I don't get it, but whatever.
People are weird.
