Umm, yes.

Have you been in many towns in the last - oooh - few decades?


What's actually happening is that people are insisting on parking on
both sides of the road. To leave room for traffic, they park on the
pavement. If they all parked the same side, there'd be room, both for
the traffic and the parked cars. Of course, some people would have to
walk all the way across the road to their front door.

I'm notocing an increasing tendency to park *just* on the kerb. It saves
no real space. I think it's a modern replacement for the use of hazard
warning lights as a 'get out of jail free' card.

I live near a skool. The bimbo, thick as pig ****, child benefit claiming,
scum parents always jump the kerb to park.
Jumping the kerb to park whilst picking up their flat headed brats is
probably the only sensible thing they have done in all of their pointless
lives.

Did you never have children or was your wife too proud to claim Child
Benefit?

And they often seem to do it even though there is plenty of room for two
lanes of traffic to pass.

Oh yes. The one I saw today had done it on double yellow lines (with two
verticals as well).

Having everyone park on just one side of the road is a good scheme,
indeed if the road is narrow it's the only possible way.

On wider roads however it means there's only room for half as many cars
(compared to using both sides).

Since the basic problem is that there are lots & lots of cars...

The basic problem is that the streets were
designed before most houses had multiple cars.

How would yuo decide who is allowed to park and on what side.
Thre;s two sides to my road as there are houses opposite mine cars park outside each house, so with your method one sdie of the houses would have no parking space at all, not sure how that would work.
Only people that live in odd number houses are allowed to park outside their homes so where do the others park or arent; they allowed cars.

You could get a tad radical and have signs on the side
of the road they can park on and different signs on the
side of the road that they aren't allowed to park on.

Thre;s two sides to my road

There is on most roads.

as there are houses opposite mine cars park outside each
house, so with your method one sdie of the houses would
have no parking space at all, not sure how that would work.

They all park on the same side of the road, stupid.

On the other side of the road, stupid.

Yellow lines one side. And whoever gets there first.
