Cyclists get done for using pavements but privileged motorists are
asked politely not to do it.
"Drivers who park on pavements in Derby will be left notices on their
windscreens asking them to be more considerate during a new campaign.
The crackdown has been prompted by a rise in complaints to Derby City
Council about parking on pavements.
Some residents said drivers' actions could be dangerous for disabled
people or parents with pushchairs using the pavements in the city.
The campaign will run for one month and then the results will be
reviewed.
City Councillor Lucy Care, cabinet member for planning and
transportation, said: "If people do park on the pavement less, it will
benefit all pedestrians, but particularly wheelchair users and people
with pushchairs or shopping trolleys.
"I hope this can be the start of a permanent change in driver
behaviour."
This latest campaign follows one last December which asked drivers
without a blue badge not to park in disabled spaces and for all
motorists to keep dropped kerbs and junctions free from obstructions."
