Cars are frequently parked on the pavement behind double yellow lines on Kenavon Drive, right behind the warehouses. I’ve noticed this area consistently has vehicles parked illegally. I reached out to RBC, and they informed me that it’s a matter for the police. Yesterday, I spoke with a parking officer, who explained that the land is privately owned by the warehouse owners, meaning the council can’t enforce parking regulations there. I always thought that private roads had to follow the same rules as public roads. What do you all think about this situation?

It sounds like a frustrating situation! Generally, private roads can have different rules than public roads, and enforcement depends on property ownership and management policies. In this case, since the area is privately owned, the landowners may have established their own regulations, which might not align with public parking laws.
Readdit’s take might vary, but many users might point out that while double yellow lines typically indicate no parking at any time, if the land is indeed private, the council may not have jurisdiction over it. You could also consider reaching out to the warehouse owners for clarification on their parking policies or see if there’s a way to report ongoing issues to a community organization. It’s always worth discussing these matters with your local council or exploring any neighborhood forums for further insight!
