I mean I think people would do that, it’s just that you can lock cars up?
Curious_Breadfruit88 on
You could store any form of transportation on the street. Most other forms are just too easy to get stolen so no one does
Tom-Montgomery on
You can store whatever you like on public streets whether or not its still there the next day is a different question

If you had a van it could double as all those other things too!

I understand the cyclist wanting upgrades to roads, but it’s pretty obvious why roads built for cars would have cars near them for access. Nobody needs a wardrobe on the street, it’s simply worse for your use, too risky it’d be pillaged. We should work towards fewer cars via improving PT / walkable cities, but cyclists being anticar do take things to silly degrees too often, making themselves seem more ridiculous than their demands actually are

Cars pay for the privilege of using the street.

I mean, you could park a car and use it for storing clothes, boxes or garden tools.
If you have a van or folding garden furniture that’s probably fine too.
Cars have to go somewhere and when developers are being rewarded for building tiny houses with no driveways or car ports and narrow garages which are more usefully used to store all the things that don’t fit in the house (boxes, furniture, garden tools etc.) where else are people meant to park?

Every one does it so it’d be hypocritical and it’s hard to steal like most other heavy veichles

Is r/im14andthisisdeep still a thing?
Understanding the concept of a road and car transportation will answer the question.

Car is King.

What about Caravans, trailers and boats etc?

I can’t drive my car up into my unit and put it away in the cupboard.
It’s weird that cars are parked in allocated spots on roads that are there for the use of cars?

Not only that, but we give some people resident parking permits as though they had some special ownership of that public property.

What? Store anything and make sure it’s few tons and locked. Or it will be stolen

Crappy old boats that never see water also apparently okay

Depends on the definition of stored. If you’re one of the anti car brigade you’ll be under the impression that they’re sitting there 24/7, when in reality they’re not.
If on the other hand, you’re a more pragmatic person, the cars are parked there because the owner doesn’t have a garage, driveway is too small or nonexistent, or people visiting.

Keep in mind many areas of Melbourne pre-date cars, and people would have parked horse-drawn vehicles on the street. Street layouts and lot sizes were not designed with private car ownership or off-street parking in mind.

You’re right! Let me go and put my car away in the cupboard, thanks.

Registration? Some states have roadworthy. Then CTP if someone crashes into said property. Roads aren’t free.

If you pay vehicle registration tax on your shed and pop castors on ot you an park it on the street.

Everything else gets stolen
Kellamitty on
Um………. because it’s a street?
You’re not supposed to store your car there 24/7 either.
I don’t want to cycle in lanes with cars either, but this graphic is just weird.

Honestly, they’d need to go underground to move car storage and improve bicycle access.

It’s a road. Transport vehicles are allowed, nothing else. Ie motorbike, trailer, truck.Â
