Sydney City Council Motorcycle Parking Rules

[bigiain]

From the SMH

Motorcyclists and scooter riders can park in Sydney's CBD and inner-city suburbs for nothing from today, in a 12-month trial designed to encourage people to leave their cars at home.

Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the trial, decided at a City of Sydney council meeting last night, exempts motorcycle and scooter riders from payment, but they must still park in designated areas and comply with existing time restrictions.

You can thank Guy Stanford and his team from The Motorcycle Council of NSW for making this happen!

And to show it in action, look here!.

Free legal parking at Mecca on Saturdays! Thanks Clover!

Good on 'em, Its good to see positive results come out of a lot of work that these people put into this organisation, sorta reminds me when we got the same result with the abolishment of parallel parking for bikes, where we parked our bikes around parliment house, nice and parallel, with a meter between each bike and then every hour on the hour we rolled them forward to the next space. It really pissed a lot of people off 'cos they could'nt park their cars.
