We, the residents of Panjim are very happy to learn that the CCP is going ahead with pay parking along 18th June and adjacent roads. At present, it is a nightmare for us, since the public park their vehicles in front of our houses. As the parking slots are fully occupied by the shop keepers who park their vehicles from 9am to 9pm, it is difficult to move out our vehicles and when we return it is impossible to get parking in front of our residences.
The parking indiscipline is so chronic that some four wheelers park on the area reserved for two wheelers and even drag the vehicle to the side to accommodate their four wheelers and some of them even park on the footpaths and obstruct pedestrians. I have brought this to the notice of Panjim Traffic Police several times who are very reluctant to act and they say that the fine is negligible to deter them from repeating the offence.
So, pay parking is the only solution and everyone can see how efficiently pay parking at Patto works.
