Parking on a residential street may help keep your costs down but did you ever think of the impact it has on the locals who live in these areas?
Follow our tips on respectful parking to help retain good community relations.
You're parking outside someone's home
Imagine how you’d feel if someone blocked your driveway or parked outside your house all day. Park mindfully and avoid causing frustration.
Keep the area clean
Dropping rubbish doesn’t just look bad, it damages relationships with the community and gives everyone a bad name. Take your litter with you or use a bin.
Noise carries
Loud music, shouting, or engine revving is disruptive. Please keep noise down when arriving or leaving.
Don’t block driveways or footpaths
Make sure there’s room for residents to access their homes and for pedestrians, wheelchairs, and prams to get through safely.
If there’s no space, don’t squeeze in
Unsafe or inconsiderate parking puts others at risk and could damage your car or someone else's.
