PARKING IN CITY AT NIGHT
Space Between Cars Wasted Parking space in the centre of Christchurch was being wasted In the evenings because motorists thought they must adhere to the spaces marked on the road for when parking meters were operating during daytime, the general secretary of the Automobile Association (Canterbury) (Mr E. S. Palliser) told the association’s council. He said it was not necessary for motorists to park in the metered spaces after the meters had ceased to operate for the day. Motorists generally did not seem to be aware ot the position, and much valuable parking space was lost. The City Council’s by-law said that a space of not less than three feet must be left between parked cars, Mr Palliser said. “The use at night of metred spaces, which vary in length from 16 to 22 feet, results in much waste space between cars. ' The extra distance is well justified for ease of access at busy times throughout the day.” The council deferred any action for observation and thought by members.
