Several drivers claimed that the ongoing Smart City works have significantly reduced the availability of designated parking spaces in the area, leaving many motorists with limited options and prompting them to park wherever space is available.
However, commuters argued that parking a vehicle in the middle of a busy road only aggravates traffic congestion and poses a hazard to other road users. They stressed that while the shortage of parking remains a genuine concern, motorists should avoid obstructing public roads and exercise greater civic responsibility.
