There are not enough parking lots so sometime people really have no choice
Sometimes you’re only running in for five minutes and you come back to a ticket. The system doesn’t match the reality of St. John’s
Sometimes we dont have a choice but to park in these no parking zones because honestly speaking there’s no parking in town
Where exactly are people supposed to park? You come into town to do business and there’s nowhere reasonable to leave your vehicle.
Emergency vehicles will have a problem if this continues. Fire trucks and ambulances need clear access, not blocked streets.
Sometimes friends of these officers par illegally and they wont get ticketted. in Antigua is who you know and who know you
If people keep breaking the law, ticket them harder. Tow vehicles if necessary. The rules exist for a reason
Politics let you all didn’t finish the parking building at east bus station 🙄 all are you had to much to say GIVE THEM THE TICKETS same stick knock the will goat knock the tame, no political side here, but common sense prevail, when it comes to what is best for the country.
A ticket is one thing, but if it doesn’t change behavior, then it’s not really solving the problem.
It’s getting ridiculous. You can’t walk properly on the sidewalks anymore because cars are parked everywhere. One day someone is going to get seriously hurt
We need short-term parking zones so people can actually support city businesses without fear.
