Parking ticket immunity
I don’t understand why motorcycles are al- lowed to park in the “no parking” area between Macau Square and the Luso Bank Building. Can anyone
explain? It seems that
motorcycles have some kind of immunity. They accumulate like ies on rotting meat. As soon as one parks illegally others rapidly appear. It’s like some kind of safe haven. Is it because, on the rare occasions when tickets are issued, it takes so long for each one? Safety in numbers?! Surely, if parking is illegal it should be penalised, every
time! It happens daily, so it is not dif cult to do so. And if it takes too long then take a photograph and send the ticket by mail later. Of course cars do the same, but they get tickets, although
it takes the same amount of time to issue a ticket for a car as for a motorcycle. Parking restrictions exist for two main purposes: to main-
tain space around sensitive areas and to facilitate traf c ow. So, may we have some attention to this matter, please? Of course, one important side effect of this would be to
make it easier for government chauffeurs to park illegally in that area of the city, something that already happens. Can anyone explain why so few tickets are issued for il-
legal motorcycle parking? I don’t understand.
