WHEN YOU PARK IN RANDWICK, watch out where you park or you might find yourself with a ticket for something unexpected.
The unexpected takes the form of car parking reserved for cars owned by the car share scheme or for hybrid vehicles.
The idea is that of the local council. It wanted to do something proactive to encourage use of the car share and to encourage new car buyers to invest in a fuel,efficient hybrid vehicle.
Sure, it’s a small gesture but it is one that can easily be taken by councils.
Randwick City Council has set aside parking reserved for car co-op and hybrid vehicles at locations throughout tits area.
Other councils encourage car share schemes by setting aside reserved parking whene members can pick up and leave the vehicles.
