I wish to bring to the attention of readers an injustice which happened to me lately.

I am in favour of residents’ parking but I believe they should be properly marked in a different colour. While near the Floriana health centre, I was very happy to find a parking space. As the area was marked in white, like all the other spaces, I did not realise it was a residential parking space and did not adjust the clock displayed on my windscreen.

Sure enough, on returning 30 minutes later I found a notice of contravention attached to the windscreen. I think it is a trap for us poor unsuspecting drivers. These spaces should be clearly marked in a different colour, as in most other places.

Also, in High Street, Ħamrun, one can only park for one hour, so one has to adjust the clock.

So, drivers beware.
