Parking of cars has become so great nuisance that it difficult to walk. Areas should be demarked and there should be no entry Zones where should not be allowed to entre. Apartment Occupants must be forced to provide 100% Parking Space to the cars. Plus at least 10% extra for the Visitors. No Parking Zones should be identified. Clearly showing the Area A to B with Bold Visible Boards .Fine in No Parking Zones should be Doubled or Tripled .Citizens Forum should be formed to check violations so that the Traffic Police does not let them off after taking Bribe.
BMC has done nothing special provision for parking in Mumbai...so rating for what...roads are used for parking of vehicles,People of Mumbai pays road tax,street tax,etc..etc and again the vehicle owners have to pay for parking their vehicle on the same road for which they pays taxes,how many times to pay multiple times? to BMC which could not identify/control the parking mafias.
Who bothers about traffic rules and regulations; these are made for only common citizens, they do not apply to any government cars, scooters or any vehicles. Traffic will be blocked if some minister whom we have elected, whose salaries are paid by us will get our movement hindred even if it results in a loss of life, its perfectly fine, on the other hand there will be double parking going on even in congested area, the traffic cops do not mind because it must be out of their duty? The local circles is asking us but I have my doubts if something concrete will happen.
Cars are mostly parked on the sides of the road. Some times when there is double parking, it becomes difficult to drive or walk through these roads. There are hardly any proper parking place in localities. In market area it is much worse. with pavements full of hawkers and cars blocking the roads, it is difficult for pedestrians to move freely.
