How will free parking help, if the pay for parking spaces are full?

@jonathantrego

It will actually hurt, paid parking forces turnover. Free parking means the same person stays in the prime spaces all day. There is a reason most chambers of commerce actually support strict parking limits. It keeps people coming and going.

Free parking literally isn't going to help it'll make it worse. All free parking is going to do is keep ppl in their dpots longer leading to ppl to get pissed and complaining about there being no where to park. Which is the purpose of metered parking to give others fair opportunity to park

in 60 years i have never ever had a run in with anyone. police , parking wardens , no one . i am careful how and when i park and i always obey the law . i am not being smug i am just saying that if you play the game you will.never ever have to meet these people .

David... I've been saying the same thing for the 40 years I have been driving on the roads. I have never had a single parking ticket. Not one ticket. Why? I don't park illegally. If the sign says 'no parking'....then don't park! duh. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how a parking ticket works. I shake my head at those that complain because they got a ticket.

High street failing in Barnet and its down to chargeable parking - nothing to do with the internet clearly as is the case with all other high streets in the UK

@bendarling5573

4 жыл бұрын

Surely, given that the Internet and out-of-town stores are increasingly attractive to people, the correct thing to do here is to try to give the high street advantages that those types of shopping don't have, rather than needless DISadvantages that they don't have? If people were given a friendly and personalised service when they went to the high street, they may well choose to go there. Charging people to park, and making it unnecessarily difficult to pay, doesn't really seem to fit in with that. And if people must be charged, then, in this day and age, it would be easy enough to set up a system where their registration number is detected and their account is automatically debited whenever they park there. The current system is unwelcoming, seems designed to catch people out, and (unsurprisingly) is driving people away. Urban councils in particular have not been on the side of the voters they purportedly serve for a long time now.

30 minute parking makes no sense. I guarantee you most of those spaces won't be used by people just quickly popping to the shops. You have to remember people like this are never happy, next they'll complain about it only being "30 minutes free" and having to rush out of the shop to get back to their car before they get a ticket, the traders will complain about people browsing their shop possibly about to make a purchase rushing out to get to their car. By forcing people to pay it deters people parking there or stopping who aren't using the town's trade or facilities, and without being funny, there's very little you can do comfortably in 30 minutes away. Imagine going into a cafe for breakfast knowing you have just under 30 minutes to move your car before you get a ticket.... your food being cooked is likely to take 10-15 minutes.

On the flip side, if they had a sign without writing but symbols or icons people would complain and appeal any parking ticket on the basis that the "signage was inadequate" and didn't fully explain the regulations or how to pay for that parking bay.

£2 per hour outrageous. Who has got that kind of money?

@thefiestaguy8831

Жыл бұрын

Most people? Most people can afford to pay £2 an hour, because you aren't parking there for 24 hours and those spaces usually have a maximum stay for 2-3 hours. If you haven't got £4-£6 to pay for parking then how you can afford to run, tax, MOT, and insure a car as well as put fuel in /charge it up I don't know. It's not that people "can't afford to pay", they just "Don't want to" and are complaining about how payment is being made, i.e cashless vs the old system of using coins which in some ways is more convenient, but a lot of people now (myself included) don't have cash. I rarely ever have bank notes in my wallet let alone coins.

I don't get it.... complaining about having to pay for a parking spot to do your downtown shopping....????.... uuummmm *Y E S ! !* It's done every day in Canada and USA.

They seem to think free parking will help, the reality is that it won't. Any free parking will be taken advantage of, people who are using it to commute to work, or want to go and do a 1 hour gym workout and then 2 hours shopping will park there all day, taking up the space for as long as they please. Meaning that mrs Miggins can't take her poodle Floof to the doggy parlour anyway, because the spaces outside will be full of cars wanting to park there all day for free and not using any of the shops nearby, just so they don't have to pay in a multi-storey which is closer.

Thirty Minutes free parking is real good idea. Where I live you used to be able to do that you could park push the button and get 30min. So if you wanted an hour you would push the button and put in $0.50 for and extra 30 minutes. They took all those meters out and know you have to pay for the first 30 minutes too, I was sad to see that.

offering mobile phone or credit card only payment is illegal

@thefiestaguy8831

Жыл бұрын

It's not. Ultimately they can choose to offer parking on their terms. If you don't like it, you don't have to accept it. It's like a nightclub stating they will only permit entry to those dressed semi-smartly, and refusing entry to someone in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt. It's not illegal, they are the landowner and their terms apply, if you don't like them you don't have to use their services. A lot of places now are card, pay by phone, or pay by app now as it means the payment is done and the transaction completed wirelessly, i.e no need for a big box of cash sitting in those machines which have been stolen before. Might not think it's a lot but in a previous Parking Wars video some years back barnet council collected roughly £28,000 a week across their parking machines. That's a lot of physical cash to be sat in a parking meter which is liable to being damaged and the money inside stolen. This simply can't happen with pay by phone/debit card. It also means they don't have to send people out to collect the coinage and can have them doing other roles instead.

I agree they should be 30 minutes parking the council don't know their butts from a hole in the ground they did what was going on. Theay should play attention thanks should go up there and check with ourselves instead of been lazy.
