Parking In The Square
Sir,—May I suggest that the City Council’s street-sign painter be instructed forthwith to obliterate the words, “No Parking,” which appear all round the triangular plot opposite the Post Office. Last week on one day 1 counted nine cars and one truck there; and this is the rule and not the exception.—Yours, etc., YOU PLEASE YOURSELF
May 26. 1960. [The traffic superintendent (Mr G. P. Kellar) said: “The word parking’ is defined in the 1956 Traffic Regulations as meaning the standing of a motor vehicle on any road for any period exceeding five minutes. If the words were obliterated, as suggested by the correspondent, a time limit restriction would be necessary. At present motorists have time to clear mail boxes, etc., in the permissible five minutes.”]
