P-guard parked in prohibited area

The already maligned people - traffic wardens - do not make it easier for themselves when they in order to enforce parking regulations even park illegally.

How was the experience at Vedbæk Harbour on Saturday afternoon, where a traffic warden because of the many visitors even had trouble finding a parking space.

Therefore selected the guard to park the car in an area with 'stop is forbidden' in order to carry out his deed.

Some will call it a little hypocritical when the fines, while they park illegally. It may seem a little strange, says Anders Strange, that as a boat owner often comes at the harbour and then the odd parking in the weekend.

He explains that there is a good reason that you are not allowed to park right there.

- Just the area where they have parked, is a work area with a mast crane, which on a daily basis is used to set both up and in. It is rather unfortunate that they choose to park right there, so people will not be able to use the crane.

Tom Olsen, who is the harbor master at Vedbæk Harbour, can easily see the irony in that a traffic warden even keep illegal.

- It is to smile at. Of course, he shall not keep on the yellow criss - agree. We insists on just for them, that they must not do more. It was a stupidity, and so is the out of the world, sounds from the harbor master.

Absolutely the same view has temporarily not at City Valet parking.

'Our staff are here to do a job - in some cases, there is not a vacant space, and our internal guidelines provide that the guards park, where they are least burdensome on the seats, says Flemming Eriksen, personnel and operations manager at City Valet parking, in an email response to Ekstra Bladet.

He does not deny that traffic wardens in the future also get to park in the area with 'stop is forbidden'.
