UK Revamps Parking to Aid Pedestrians!

In Scotland, North Lanarkshire Council has introduced new parking regulations, targeting vehicles parked on pavements, double parking, and blocking pedestrian crossing points. Offenders will face up to £100 penalties, aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety, particularly for those with visual impairments or using wheelchairs. Councillor Helen Loughran emphasizes the rules make roads safer, avoiding pedestrians stepping into traffic. Despite no exceptions for Blue Badge holders, the move seeks to prevent accidents and improve accessibility across the region.
