Parking is a salient issue in Gibraltar that doesn’t seem to disappear no matter how many car parks or parking spaces are built and painted. The previous Administration’s introduction of the Highway Enforcement Officers seems to have done nothing to deter drivers from parking wherever they want.
But it’s not just car drivers that don’t adhere to the rules… a MasterService electric vehicle took up two motorbike parking spaces this morning along the Engineer’s Lane parking area which had been visited by two Highway Enforcement Officers only minutes before and had not given the offending vehicle a ticket.
On the flip side Highway Enforcement Officers give no such leeway to commercial vehicles that attempt to load and unload goods. When plans for parking spaces were drawn up little thought had been put into parking spaces for those that need to carry out their business.
