Parking configuration

Parking Management

There is a known issue along Lincoln Road where vehicles cross the Highway to park on pavements or property frontages. During the public consultation, we received a lot of feedback regarding vehicles blocking the pavement areas and making them inaccessible for members of the public. The act of crossing the Highway is illegal and can be enforced by the Police. It is also a safety concern and in addition to possible enforcement action, street furniture will be put in place to prevent this in the future.
