should we do this here?
Whilst in Damascus recently (where the parking is extremely haphazard) I noticed the use of wheel clamps. Maybe this would be a good idea if they came into use in Jordan! Especially where people double and triple park causing traffic jams. T
Oooh, T, I've told El 3atal that we need the boot (the American name for the tire clamp) for years! Although my second idea (and I think the more workable one) is to simply create a tow lot out by the airport, have a company that tows the cars, then make the offender pay both a hefty fine (say 50JDs) and the cost of the towing...
Talk about a disincentive! So, yes! Let's get the boot and a towing program going...
walahi they should do that but on parallel they should provide free or cheap parking within 1 to 2km of walking distance especially in the active areas else they would be destroying some business.
