I live in London which has all-but banned cars in the city centre (they're not banned, but there is an expensive congestion charge which means that in practice most traffic in the centre is buses, taxis, or very wealthy people).
However, there is an exception for anyone with a "blue badge" holder (for those with disabilities which prevent easy mobility - wheelchair users and others). These people not only get free car access to the city centre (which now has a lot less traffic because nobody else is driving there), but also get to park in places that most people are not allowed to, etc.
- iso1631 4y ago> there is an expensive congestion charge Pales in comparison to the cost of parking. An afternoon in the Q-Park at Westminster is £45, 3 times the price of the congestion charge.
- nicoburns 4y agoYes, but again this doesn’t apply to blue badge holders who park for free in all sorts of places where you’re not usually allowed to park.
