Dublin 13 Blockers 🚗🚗🚗🚗

Highlighting the invasion by drivers on the footpaths of Dublin 13, inconveniencing and endangering pedestrians, especially those with buggies and disabilities.

@gaz3434 @BelfastParking Plus it's illegal to adjust the spacing on your vanity number plate like that.

Should be SHI2 TST

Or maybe just SH1T TEST? 😃

[Councillor Donna Cooney @donna_cooney1]

A beautiful day happily going about place and this happens. I didn't want to lose my cool, or good day feeling. Had they apologised and understood that babies in buggies, children on bikes all had to go out on the road into a bus lane. Actions have consequences, and think beyond your own convenience. Boss didn't care, he just said calm down we won't be long.

When can we do this in Dublin?

[Glasgow City Council @GlasgowCC]

After issuing pavement parking warnings over the past month, we are now moving to full enforcement.

To ensure safety for vulnerable road users, anyone pavement parking, double parking or dropped kerb parking is now liable to be fined.

Could this be the solution for illegal and dangerous parking on footpaths and in cycling paths in Ireland?

Get soaked 🚿 + 400 euro fine + penalty poins.

[Ola Løkken Nordrum @OlaLN]

The Clontarf cycle route this morning.

@TescoIrl do this every morning (their truck is hidden behind the other illegally parked van): Block the cycle lane with trolleys and cones, forcing cyclists into the road.

No enforcement. No respect.

[CyclingMikey the Unspeakable @MikeyCycling]

There should be near zero tolerance for parking on pavements. Fines, then towing.

[Jon Burke 🌍 @jonburkeUK]

Pavement parking fines are a progressive tax on drivers who want parents to push their pram through oncoming traffic.

[Dublin City Council @DubCityCouncil]

Please Be Sound and do not block cycle lanes. Blocking cycle lanes forces older and more vulnerable cyclists out into moving traffic. Thank you #ActiveTravelNetwork #C2CC @livedrive @DCCTraffic @GardaTraffic @Dept_Transport @RSAIreland

You mean it used to be legal? 🤨

Glasgow introduces a pavement parking ban https://t.co/ofGa0TFrzX

Thank God this never happens with the Gardai in Ireland.

[Streetsblog New York City @StreetsblogNYC]

NYPD keeps parking their cars illegally on the sidewalks and in crosswalks. And it's gotten so bad that the Department of Justice is now involved.

[Fesshole🧻 @fesshole]

The huge carabiner hanging off the side of my bag is purely to scratch cars parked on the pavement that I am forced to squeeze by. If it takes paint or dents bodywork, then you haven't left enough space for wheelchairs or prams to get past, and you deserve what you fucking get.

[Dublin 13 Blockers 🚗🚗🚗🚗 @Dub13Blockers]

It's like the opposite of the Purge. One day a year, the law is actually enforced.

[An Garda Síochána @GardaTraffic]

We've seized two disabled parking permits from people they did not belong to, and fined several drivers in Dublin City Centre for illegally parking in disabled bays this lunch time.

We're on patrol nationwide today as part of our Operation Enable to mark #IDPD2024

[Andy Bush @bushontheradio]

I had to draw it.

[AA Roadwash @aaroadwash]

Time to clamp the Sinn Féin truck.

[Dublin 13 Blockers 🚗🚗🚗🚗 @Dub13Blockers]

No sign of people parking on the Howth footpaths back in the day

[AA Roadwash @aaroadwash]

Clare Daly, thank you for proudly parking on footpaths. Putin the rest of us to shame so you are.

[Dublin 13 Blockers 🚗🚗🚗🚗 @Dub13Blockers]

Good to see the scourge of footpath parking get some media coverage 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

[Dublin Inquirer @DublinInquirer]

Near Portmarnock Dart Station, a growth in footpath parking is forcing residents to walk on the road. Ciarán Ó Baoighealláin has tried to get Fingal County Council to intervene, he says. But to no effect. https://t.co/Dwvd2ievbA

Top Tip Thursday. When you need to drop your kids as close to the school gates as possible and your car doesn't fit on the road, just park it on the pavement.

[Sam 🇮🇪🤝🇵🇸 @Samtm023]

A week after 'Make Way Day', Gardai at Bridewell Station in Cork City continue to let pedestrians, and especially those in wheelchairs or with visual impairments know, that their journey and safety doesn't matter.

[Sam 🇮🇪🤝🇵🇸 @Samtm023]

Reporting to Gardai yielded this response.

@DisabilityFed @MakeWayDay this is the same organisation you partner with every year.
