There is no right to park on the highway. There is a right to load, unload, set down, pick up, but not to park.<br /><br />Parked vehicles are the biggest casue of urban, and often rural, congestion. On most roads remove the parked vehicles and trafic would flow smoothly.<br /><br />I have a house, I park my vehicles on my land, not on the road.<br /><br />You have no where on your land to park your vehicle. Tough, rent elsewhere or acquire a vehicle that you can park on your land. Why should I subsidise your parking with my road tax, tax to provide me with good clear roads.<br /><br />I try and practise what I preach. I will pay for a car park in town rather than blocking the road to avoid paying a few pennies.<br /><br />You cannot afford to park? You cannot afford a car.<br /><br />Free the roads for travelers - NOW.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25371620-114415813987312121?l=on-road-parking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>siltechttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00242038919872519524noreply@blogger.com0
