• Again my cycle lane was blocked it's getting worse lately. Waiting for FOI information on how many tickets actually get issued there between 0800-0930. My guess: Not many.

    Where is this?

  • Belfast, Narnia Ireland.

    They've outsourced the parking enforcement from the local government (DRD) to a company. But DRD is ultimately responsible. There is only one lane so I've nowhere to go if the lane is blocked/cars are hanging out of their space which means I need to take the whole lane, queue close passes and the occasional proper cunt. It's rare, 99% of drivers are sound, but it's just not fun.

    Some areas like the city centre are well "policed".
    Some areas like Ravenhill Road are somewhat policed after much bitching and perhaps involvement of a local politician
    My area is not policed and is getting worse as time goes on. The company said to the DRD they got there occasionally. If with that they mean once a blue moon then yes.

    It doesn't help (no doubt London is the same) that bus companies and taxi companies can park wherever and not give a shit, why would residents not be able to park in an urban clear zone if they can do whatever they want.
