London motorcycle parking website acclaimed
Making head or tale of the complex parking regulations
within London has until recently been akin to understanding
Einstein's Theory of Relativity, however thanks to a new
website www.motorcycleparking.com the 33 borough's rules
have been unscrambled. The site, the brainchild of a London
biker, contains a complete overview of the parking rules
and regulations of each borough council, as well as the
location of the solo motorcycle parking bays for most
of the London boroughs and links to the relevant borough
motorcycle parking pages. It has already had acclaim from
bikers organisations and representatives from Transport
for London and is set to become one of the most highly
rated websites for bikers with over 11000 hits in its
first 2 weeks on-line.
It will soon be the focal point for a campaign for more
parking provision within London, where the number of bikers
is on the increase following the implementation of the
Congestion Charge. The campaign is likely to be extended
to many other cities where motorcycle parking provision
is insufficient for the increasing numbers of bikers,
and where there is already talk about the feesibility
and use of congestion charging to reduce vehicle numbers.
Commenting on the urgent need for more parking bays within
the Congestion Charging Zone, the sites author Will Beeley
said "The competition for spaces within Central London
has been exhasperated by congestion charging. Bikers are
becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of parking
provision for the increasing numbers opting out of the
hussle and bustle of the already overcrowded public transport
schemes. Many are being forced to run the gauntlet of
parking on pavement lights and private sections of land,
or even go further and cover up their tax discs and number
plates to try to avoid being ticketed. Although some boroughs
are now looking seriously at the issue, many of the schemes
being thought about, will take months, if not years to
implement."
