Welcome readers! We were tasked to choose a social issue that we think should be of highest priority and demands immediate action or change in my community. Join me as I create a petition for it so that we can contribute and make a difference.
Overview
In cities and especially metropolitans, car parking has turned into a major nuisance for both commuters and local administrations. With spaces in city, centers are receding every day and the number of vehicles is constantly piling up, arranging parking spaces that can accommodate all the cars have become virtually impossible.
As a result, more drivers are now guilty of violating parking rules than ever before. Barring some unavoidable situations, there is no excuse to park your car illegally. If you have lately parked your car in a wrong spot and gotten away with it, then treat this blog as a reminder as to why you shouldn’t have done that.
Objective of the petition
Illegally parked vehicles occupy the streets of Maricaban in Barangay 178, Pasay City. With this, it leaves hardly enough space for one vehicle to pass through and it does not seem to bother car and motorcycle owners. We call on all motorists to understand the impact illegal parking can have on other road users. The message to drivers is:
‘If You Don’t Move, We Can’t’.
We urge drivers to think of the very real consequences illegal parking can have on vulnerable road users and particularly those with disabilities. If a motorist parks illegally it can often force these road users out into traffic to try and navigate around the obstruction which exposes them to the risk of injury or worse. That’s why we are calling on motorists to park responsibly.
