People who park in loading zones during the 9-5 workhour!
Go find a proper carpark and leave the loading zones for the people who NEED to use it due to the size of their vehicle.

I try to block them in if possible.
Had a idiot at Marion today who parked in one of the main loading bays so I managed to double park him and came back about an hour later and the guy was losing it[emoji48]

People who think that road works speed limits don't apply to them. Was driving through roadworks just outside of Glossop. Usually a 90 zone but down to 25 for quite a stretch, much longer than needed for the little work they were doing, but that's not the point. I was rolling along at 25 and some idiot flies up behind me, zig zagging all over the road right up my exhaust pipe. He finally went past me, eventually going past where the roadworks was being done at 90

Some of the signs I've seen indicate that they are available for anyone picking up something.
One I've seen (just off Angas St) specified a limit of 10 minutes for cars and 30 minutes for trucks and vans.
It seems fair if legitimately picking something up in that short time, but not otherwise.

Does it remind you of that time back in 1964 when you had to pick up something?

There is a special place in hell for truck drivers that ignore the merge rule and nearly t-bone you at 60 k/ph out the front of the Ice Arena. If I had tunnel vision i'd probably be dead right about now :?

I stopped in to pick up free tickets at the Arts Theatre only the other day and used the loading zone I mentioned above.
This is my most recent major pick up - I've never owned a limo type car:

You cannot park in a Loading Zone, unless you are:

driving a commercial vehicle loading or unloading goods (and then for no longer than 30 minutes or as indicated on the sign)

driving another sort of vehicle and loading or unloading a cargo that is difficult to handle due to its weight or size (and then for no longer than 30 minutes or as indicated by the sign)

driving a public bus or taxi (and then only to immediately set down or pick up passengers)

permitted to park, as indicated by the sign

Not sure we should be limiting it to just "back in the day"
