Would you ban parking on the pavement?

If only asking motorists to be more considerate were the answer. A lot of pavement parking occurs simply because many motorists have got into the habit of doing it. They see everyone else parking on the pavement and they do the same, regardless of any “necessity”.
While I accept there are areas where on-street parking is extremely scarce, it’s not only in those areas that motorists park on the pavement. I live on a road wide enough for two buses to pass comfortably. There is plenty of room for cars to park fully on the road. But some neighbours park on the pavement, often across the entrance to the empty driveway they can’t be bothered to turn into. School run time sees both pavements parked on, although drivers could park safely within two or three minutes’ walk.
On housing estates built between approximately 1920 and 1970 most properties have large front gardens with plenty of room to park. Yet these are the scenes of some of the most selfish and obstructive pavement parking. Again, I often see vehicles parked on the ramp leading to an empty hard standing. More modern estates often have less land available, but it would help if residents made use of the land which they have rather than assuming they own the pavement as well. And they would often find there are safe and reasonable places to park if only they were prepared to walk a few yards back home.
The Guide Dogs Association has suggested that local authorities should be allowed to grant exemption to a general ban on pavement parking. This could go some way to dealing with areas where few residents have front gardens, though I hope this power would be used sparingly. In large areas of our towns and cities there are plenty of alternatives to pavement parking, but I suspect only a parking ticket will convince some drivers of this.

You can’t walk on most pavements in 2019, as they’re blocked by cars, vans & sometimes lorries!
Time companies also stopped employees taking these huge vehicles home, as they often have their own vehicles to commute to/from work, but leave them at home and prefer to inconvenience others by parking their stupidly-sized vehicles on pavements!
Why not tax companies who allow their vehicles to be used as commuting vehicles by their employees?
Also, I’m sick of seeing new housing developments built only to see the access roads made far too narrow hence lots of cars fully blocking pavements all over the country!
Yes, it’s time to totally ban this SELFISH pavement parking in Britain, and not let pedestrians have to walk on the roads….. If councils are so strapped for cash, here’s a golden opportunity for them to substantially improve council funds….. CLAMP THEM & HIT THESE UNCARING CLOWNS IN THE POCKET!
Vehicles are for roads, pedestrians are for pavements…… Also, fine cyclists who ride on pavements instead of the roads…. they are just as much a menace!
Make it compulsory for all new roads built in the UK to be made wider to prevent this nonsense of pavement parking…. councils need to wake up and realise, it’s 2019, not 1969, look how many vehicles are now on our roads,(Far too many)….. I drive, and I never park on pavements, I’m coming up 60 and I’d still rather park properly further away and walk, people today are simply TOO LAZY!
