Signage problems in Napiershall St. Parking Scheme

On a walkabout of the Napiershall Street Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) on 26th August 2013, various issues were raised with council officials. The restricted parking zone for Woodside was amended from 1st August 2007 to include the Napiershall Street, North Woodside Road, and South Woodside Road. This led to the introduction of designated shared-use parking places, disabled vehicles parking places, motorcycle parking places, loading places and waiting restrictions. During the walkabout, it was identified that some of the signage is no longer appropriate and it should have been removed in 2007. 


Yellow sign "At any time" to be removed from South Woodside Road and Napiershall Street.

Sign hidden behind a hedge in Lansdowne Crescent is no longer 
required and is to be removed.

It was also noted that some of the signage notifying motorists of the rules that apply to cars parking in the restricted parking zone need to be repaired or replaced.

Sign indicating the entry point of the RPZ was missing.

A sign is not located in the correct position.

One of the main concerns of residents is that there is a requirement to park in designated bays only but this information does seem to be clear from the signage displayed in the area. Some of the signs refer to parking in bays from Monday to Friday, 8am - 6pm. It was clarified by council officials that all cars must park in designated bays at all times of the day or night to avoid parking fines.
