You have your say on rogue parking in Mid-Levels and Central ...

This is so typical of Hong Kong. Everybody knows about the problem but nobody is in charge, or those in charge refuse to take any proper action.

The solution is very simple - since in all those places choked by rogue parking of cars there is a parking ban in place. Just charge every driver parking there with the proper fixed-penalty ticket.

Do this day in, day out and the problem will go away.

Why do children need to be picked up by cars in front of their school in an area with excellent public transport? Why can those busy executives not walk a few metres to get to their lunch and back to their office?

I would have no mercy on those rogue parking, and do not get me wrong, I am a driver myself. But there are rights for pedestrians and they need to be protected by the force of law.

Maybe the biggest problem in tackling this issue is that quite a lot of those cars choking the streets (in Central and other busy areas around there) bear a licence plate starting with 'AM ...'?
