As our Federation continues to host major events that attract large crowds, the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force reminds all motorists to park responsibly and with consideration for others.
One of the most common complaints received during major events is vehicles being parked across private driveways and garages, preventing residents from entering or leaving their properties. This causes unnecessary inconvenience and, in some cases, can delay persons who need urgent access to medical care, work, or other essential activities.
Motorists are reminded that it is an offence to park across a driveway or garage entrance, or within fifteen (15) feet of such an entrance. These restrictions exist to ensure that property owners have unobstructed access to their premises at all times.
Drivers attending events are encouraged to:
* Park only in lawful and designated parking areas.
* Ensure their vehicle does not obstruct any driveway, garage, gate, or entrance.
* Be mindful that convenience for one motorist should never come at the expense of a resident’s right to access their property.
The Police will be actively monitoring parking during public events. Vehicles found in violation may be ticketed, removed where necessary, and drivers dealt with in accordance with the law.
We ask everyone to do their part by parking responsibly and showing courtesy to residents. A few extra moments spent finding a legal parking space can prevent significant inconvenience to others and help ensure that everyone enjoys our events safely and respectfully.
