Does your road have this DIY issue?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Mysterious hand-painted yellow lines have appeared on an Auckland street notorious for being used as an unofficial "park and ride". Devonport's Clarence St fills up early with workers parking before commuting via the nearby Devonport ferry, which at times has led to residents being trapped in their homes. NZTA have confirmed that "whether there are markings or not, you can't park within a metre of a driveway".

Recently, a self-styled artist painted yellow lines that look like hockey sticks either side of a driveway to demarcate the space. NZTA have said that, "they have done reasonably well because the line looks straight and it's about the right size, but it is not legal. To be legal, these lines should also be white not yellow." The yellow lines mark out the driveway creating the impression it is permissible to park over the driveway next door. AT encouraged Aucklanders who had issues with people parking illegally to contact them on 09 355 3553.
