Police Crack Down on Illegal Parking Along Joseph Lane

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has issued a stern reminder to motorists about the persistent problem of illegal parking along Joseph Lane.

Police Crack Down on Illegal Parking Along Joseph Lane

Despite repeated warnings and the installation of traffic signs and road markings, authorities say some drivers continue to flout the regulations. The practice, they stressed, not only creates obstructions but also hampers the free flow of traffic along the busy roadway.

In response, police have announced increased traffic checks in the area. Any vehicle found parked in violation will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.

“The Police Administration appeals to all road users to comply with traffic regulations and cooperate fully with the authorities,” the statement read.

    I always wondered if the people of Santo Domingo and the others owned that street. Good that the police intervened

    In that lane is a busy business hub. Where do these people park their vehicles? Apart from that even police officers come and park their vans to pick up “clients”
