Crack down on selfish parkers

Sir, – I am writing in exasperation at the continued flouting of the law with regard to parking restrictions at the entrance to my street.

I have been a resident of View Terrace in Rosemount for over three years now, and over that time period I have watched this situation get progressively worse and worse.

Every time I attempt to exit from View Terrace on to Rosemount Place, there are cars parked illegally right at the junction (sometimes on both the right and left) blocking my view and making it extremely dangerous to be able to pull out safely.

There are clear double yellow lines marked there for a reason, but selfish motorists seem to think they know better than to obey the rules which are designed for all our safety.

With the dark nights setting in this problem is exacerbated and I fear that it can only be a matter of time before there is an accident between vehicles and/or pedestrians.

To all those who park illegally at the end of View Terrace to pop into Sainsburys or another local business, please take the time to park a little more sensibly and spare a thought for other road users.

Where are all the traffic wardens when you need them?

Tara Geddes,

View Terrace, Aberdeen.
