Parking Bad

Peter Rukavina

Parking pro-tip: if your car, truck or van is covering the sidewalk, you’re doing something wrong.

Imagine rolling down this Prince Street sidewalk on this bitterly cold day only to encounter this: your only options are to roll out into traffic, or to backtrack to Grafton Street, cross, and take the other sidewalk down.

This is a problem that’s 100% preventable by exercising thoughtful parking. Spread the word.

Does rolling up onto the curb somehow protect you from being unable to back out of a space after a heavy snow and/or icing over of the roads? I can imagine that being a strong incentive, especially if you're expecting not to return to your car until it's late and cold and no one is around

Very inconsiderate. I’ve called Charlottetown Police Services several times for stuff like this. They’ll ticket and tow.
