Possible ways to tackle problem parking and traffic domination:
- Filtered permeability. There are quite a few examples in Edinburgh already. Example on Whitson Road.
- Pedestrianisation
- Parking exclusion zones around schools (this has been trialled successfully in Edinburgh and is being further rolled out)
- Car free days More info. Portland, Oregon has seven suburbs that have a car free Sunday rota and take turns.
- Playing Out initiative http://playingout.net/
- One way streets
- Better parking enforcement from council
- Residents’ parking permits
- Bollarding (to prevent pavement parking). Example.
- Double yellows around dropped kerbs and access points for cycles/pedestrians
- Commitment from local businesses to stop pavement parking.
- Better placemaking provision for locals to improve their residential and shopping streets.
- Wider pavements so more space given over to people walking.
- Cycle provision (segregated from traffic) so people can cycle and feel safe.
- Proposed LEZ
- Examples.
