Australia actually has an oversupply of parking, both on streets and in parking lots. Across five of the state capitals, most postcodes have more on-street spaces than there are registered cars.
That’s great for drivers, given most on-street parking outside the inner city is free and has no time limit. Many spaces are used by locals with a driveway or garage who find it more convenient to park on the street.
The problem is, abundant street parking comes at a cost. Streets jammed with parked cars look bad – and remove space for bikes, e-bikes and scooters.
I think there just needs to be a sensible time limit. Like, 3 days or something.
There’s cars on my street that are anchored to the road with cobwebs and they actually block the street.
Report as abandoned to your local council. They will look into it
I reported 10 cars and they actioned one of them.
I have literally had better results from throwing rocks at them. 100% removal rate within days.
I bet they love you in the neighbourhood facey group hahaha
And if the rego is active they won’t do shit
