Mr. Kong, who works for the local taxation bureau, left a message on June 3 saying that there were many children and parents playing in Nanshan Park on Children's Day, and there were no parking spaces near his workplace. He parked his car on the sidewalk opposite the east gate of Nanshan Park. When Mr. Kong went off work in the evening, he found a fine ticket for illegal parking on his car. Mr. Kong suggested that the traffic police department could be more humane when enforcing the law, and find some reasonable ways to guide the traffic during special days, instead of just solving the problem of parking difficulty by fines.
Another citizen left a message reflecting that when delivering goods and checking out at a store near RT-Mart, after being busy for more than ten minutes, he found a fine ticket for illegal parking on his car when he walked out of the store. The citizen suggested that the traffic police department could allow limited-time parking in front of the shop for delivery, or replace the single fine system by opening a special delivery location for unified management.
There are also netizens consulting in their messages about where they can park in the "Storm Action" (Question No.: 382257), and the price of 90-octane gasoline in Wuhan. The netizen asked: "Currently, the traffic police are starting a large-scale rectification of illegal parking. I am very afraid and want to figure out one question, that is, apart from places with parking or no-parking signs, where can I park? Will cars parked on the roads within residential areas be fined tomorrow? Now people are worried because they don't know where they can park and where they cannot."
The traffic police department also stated that they have already alleviated the problem of parking difficulty in urban areas by increasing public parking spaces. For other matters that require citizens' assistance and cooperation in the "Storm Action", please check the online interview on May 5th titled "The Chief of Traffic Police Speaks with You About Smooth Traffic".
