By sharing footage of the fake parking spaces, created with non-permanent paint and chalk, they showcased the number of vehicles parked in these areas. “Illegal parking isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a misuse of public space that affects everyone, from pedestrians to buses,” he said. “It’s not about punishing drivers; it’s about maintaining the integrity of public spaces and ensuring everyone can use them safely. I Bike Dublin is also calling for the citywide return of parking wardens to ensure that people are discouraged from illegal parking.
