But at least they are trying to do something about it. The Scottish Parliament just passed a bill banning parking on the sidewalk, or as they call it, the footway.
但是至少苏格兰试图采取行动来改变这一现状。苏格兰议会刚刚通过了一项法案,禁止在人行道上停车(苏格兰人把人行道称为footway)。
Stuart Hay, director of Living Streets Scotland, is happy: "People in wheelchairs, parents with pushchairs and older adults who are currently forced into oncoming traffic when faced with vehicles blocking their path will now be able to enjoy a new freedom. It also stands to offer huge savings to cash-strapped councils currently charged with fixing footways damaged by vehicles parking on them."
苏格兰生活街道组织的负责人斯图亚特·海伊对此感到高兴:“被人行道上停的车堵住路而不得不走到拥挤马路上的坐轮椅的人、推婴儿车的父母和老年人现在可以享受到一种新的自由了。这也可以为资金紧缺的地方议会省下一大笔钱,此前由于停车对人行道造成了损害,他们必须承担修理费。”
There is an exemption that will be a problem; delivery vehicles are allowed to stop for up to 20 minutes, which is a very long time.
不过这项禁令有一个例外:允许送货车在人行道上停留20分钟,这是相当长的一段时间,而这也会成为一个问题。
