CANCELLED - Due to weather - Wellington Action - 19 December - Oriental Parade

[Nasty]

here is the bylaw for what nasty is saying

traffic bylaw
subsection
6.5 No person shall park a motorcycle in any parking meter area controlled by a multiple parking meter, other than in any part specifically set aside for motorcycles.

here is the definition of Multiple Parking Meter

Multiple Parking Meter means a parking meter which functions in respect of more than one parking space and includes pay and display parking meters.

Although you can park for free on a saturday they are still considered metered parks for ticketing purposes.

... on that note we could get our dogs to park our bikes that would be technically aloud as it says 'NO PERSON SHALL PARK A MOTORBIKE'

i think they would be more likly to tow them as they are within the law to do so.

[BMWST?]

so we start to gather in Oriental bay itself start parking by the fisherman table and spread outwards????
or from the start of oriental bay proper
or start back at the pool(the other side of the driveway to the carpark)

Megaphone sourced

1st official piece of Wellington BRONZ infrastructure purchsed at very sharp price (40% disc)

Treasurer and the VP agreed, worthy cause as we can re-deploy it for training courses, charity events....and ACC protests (or any other supported civil event)
Yep.... a 43w Megaphone



I just asked a mate who (works with the council ) regarding Oriental Parks
ALL Time Zoned parks are public and not bound by the pay and display meter rules
So from his recall of the layout, just past the pool to the end of the parking area's is bike friendly carparks, and no dedicated bike zone is there which makes us perfectly eligible Saturday users, as long as we obey the TIME limits

Kari knows who I speak of methinks

;P

[Azi Dahaka]

there is one bike park just after the pool but we can pretend it dosnt exist

[Laxi]

as long as we obey the TIME limits

or rotate bikes

I didn't know that you can't park a bike in a pay n display?? although common sense tells me I wouldn't as I can't gauruntee the ticket will stay on the bike etc.

Anyway my point is - is that rule clearly displayed on a pay n display machine?? can't say I have seen it anywhere. And if you didn't know on the weekend when you don't have to have a ticket how would you know you couldnt park there??

(unless you read this thread of course!!)

Megaphone sourced

OK. So if you use yours, I use the one that is up here at the same time, I wonder if we will hear one another

Have a good one!

Does anyone know how long you can park in one of these parks?

For instance, if it's say 2 hours, it might be good to know so a second wave could come in around 10 to replace the bikes/bikers who are full up on coffee.

I think the pay and display are two hours and not sure about the others I thought they were unlimited

[ajturbo]

OK - from speaking to parking people at council. DO NOT USE pay and display parks unless for cars and they are time limited. DO USE the parks that are not pay and display.

so whats the point then?... sorry not getting at you K,

but hey, if we park in town that is metered, pay for the ticket..
attach the ticket to the bike

how can they say that is not allowed???

what is the difference to the other places??????? as long as you have the ticket on the bike..??????

[StoneY]

The pay and display all at the ned we aint gonna be gathering in anyway. moot issue

The end we intended to target, if I recall the geography, is all time zones, 30-60 and some 120's (I think anyway)
