  Also remember that not all parking restrictions are about revenue. Safety for drivers and pedestrians is also a concern. Stand outside Argos and you will quickly see how drivers read 'Pedestrian Zone' to mean free parking, short cut or whatever else suites them best. A simple rule such as roads are for cars and pavements are for people never enters most drivers heads unless there are yellow lines and the threat of a fine. Ask any parent about negotiating their way around vehicles parked on the pavements. Shopping is itself a more desirable prospect if you don't have to spend your time dodging traffic and manouvering around thoughtlessly parked cars. I'm sure that if you lifted restrictions some drivers would think about what they were doing and behave sensibly but far too many already look for excuses not to.
