It' a wonder we don' have more of it in Peterboroughs 60s and 70s sprawling local authority estates...and many private estates built since, where there is minimal or no 'on drive' parking. Roadside parking is the norm in many estates and perhaps most have accepted it, first come first served despite the proliferation of cars. Most streets are ram packed with cars most of the time, Xmas is always worse when everyone is at home, cars are even being forced to park on the footpaths or narrowing roads by creating spaces that don' even exist.
Reasons round here include multiple occupancy houses...a huge bain of peoples lives IMO. Look out my back window there's 6 houses. The house directly opposite, four cars I know of, next door, one van and two cars, next door to them, one van and a car, next to them, one horse box until recently and a car and often a van. In the opposite direction, one car, next to them I think two or three cars.
3 out of 6 houses are HMOs and there's up to 16 cars associated with those 6 houses....ridiculous, no wonder people park on paths..or anywhere else they can.
That's modern living for you, that's what our governments have encouraged.
