Likewise here, just laziness. There is a busy regular bus route
along
the road, at the end of my street. A good half mile of that is
occupied by large detached and semi- detached houses, these share a
long access road at the rear and a have large-ish rear gardens with
garages and parking built on them. Do they use the rear to park,
not
likely...

They park out front, usually in a continuous row of near 1/2 mile
of
parked vehicles, causing absolute chaos for traffic. Cars usually
manage to somehow get through, but buses really struggle. I have
even
regularly seen them incredibly park on both sides of the road,
making
it a real struggle for buses, sometimes impossible.


But do the planners try to accept that people like to park out
front?
No!


Put restrictions in place and enforce.

Not feasible. Visitors wouldn't be able to park.

A couple of citations might
make them think about parking round back

One side restrictions work well everywhere else in the world.

But clearly wouldn't with that street.


Why not??? Explain yourself.

Lots
of places both sides no parking.

So there would be nowhere for the visitors to park.


My visitors can park in my driveway. There is room for 4 vehicles. I
have 2. If I need more parking spaces for anevening I can arrange to
park one or more of my vehicles on a neighbour's driveway, or parkone
at a nearby school or church lot.

I live on a bus route - and next to a school that has numerous school
busses every morning, noon, and afternoon. No parking during school
bus times - either side,


It's high time schools and buses stopped taking priority over people who
live there.


There there would be nowhere for them to stop, stupid.
