Clearing up the on road parking debate

I wonder how many people in my inner North street read this – on the weekend suddenly everyone who was normally parking on the nature strip suddenly parked on the roads.

Which naturally mean the garbage truck couldnt make it down the street. But at least those nature strips were free!

Are these fact sheets even distributed to anyone, other than on RIOTACT?

I’m hoping some kind citizen will create them as windshield sized stickers and distribute them accordingly.

I’m on it!!

Make sure to have the stickers lightly die-cut across the face of each sticker, so that when the victim attempts to peel it off they only end up getting a tiny piece each time.

That’ll really piss them off!

You ARE evil……..

Hope someone makes that into a sticker.

Ha ha, people like you two are what make RIOTACT so entertaining!

….. so this rule would mean that all the cars parked on Telopea Park West today and yesterday were illegally parked?

That fact sheet would make a good sticker for windscreens…

Don’t start that again! Don’t you yet know it’s illegal to deface an illegally parked car by sticking a sticker on the windscreen, which could cause a crash by obscuring the view of someone stupid enough to drive around with their view obscured (and park illegally, probably because they bought/rented a place with insufficient parking for their needs, or were just too lazy to walk the extra 10m from a legal parking space)???

The fact sheet says nothing that’s not already in the ACT Road Rules Handbook that we were all supposed to read, understand, and pass a written multiple-guess test on before we were even allowed to learn to drive (and which is readily downloaded from the TAMS website). It makes me wonder how many more fact sheets will be issued? Are these fact sheets even distributed to anyone, other than on RIOTACT?

I can see the head line next week:

A little bit off topic but what grates my bones is De Burgh and Forbes Street Lyneham/Braddon which run parrallel to Northbourne. They are narrow streets and one side is designated parking, here is the kicker.. the other is not yet we have cars taking up both sides at regular times especially at the end of Forbes due to construction. This doesn’t help in the mornings with impatient drivers who decide not to give way to proceeding traffic and try to slot two cars into a space which only comfortably fits one. One day there is going to be a head on and I for one hope to be there to nod in dissapproval
