Newlands, Auldhouse, Pololkshields and so on. It's not *everywhere* in those places, but there's more instances than you'd think.

With the above caveats, I tend to agree but before a ban comes in I'd want to see functional public transport. It's still cheaper for us to drive & pay for parking than it is to take a bus or train. That's just silly.
Functional public transport means fewer cars (or smaller ones) and when the ban comes in, the 50% cut in parking spaces doesn't cause mayhem.
> bumping up two wheels onto a pavement has created a situation where everyone perceives there to be more space for car parking in Glasgow (or any UK city really) than there actually is.
Entrained demand. I also agree, I am just pondering how one brings in a ban without causing the aforementioned mayhem.
Maybe it's done over years with an ever expanding zone like an LEZ? |
