Out of interest, where are you commenting on?
I agree it's true there's always a risk of these "tragedy of the commons" style issues with bad individuals, but this kind of access is a fairly long established tradition in Scotland and it seems to work reasonably well (although other commenters have mentioned a few exceptions where by-laws were put in place for trouble spots, but thankfully those are targeted in location and time of year)
- alistairSH 4y agoSeems there’s a bit of this happening in the most remote northern section of Scotland (where the NC500 route was established). I’m sure some of the complaints are just NIMBYs who don’t want any change at all, but given the state of some of my local parks (DC suburbs, USA - trash heaps and poo piles all over in 2020/2021), I’m not surprised careless tourists are mucking up the Highlands. https://gailantheabrown.com/2021/08/12/poo-potholes-and-park-ups-why-highlanders-are-tired-of-scotlands-north-coast-500-route/ https://gailantheabrown.com/2021/08/12/poo-potholes-and-park...
