Merseyside Police’s Roads Policing Unit has taken enforcement action overnight against a series of vehicles parked unlawfully in Liverpool city centre.
According to the force, several drivers were issued with Traffic Offence Reports for parking in restricted areas including taxi ranks, disabled bays, and loading zones.
Images shared by police show vehicles stopped in clearly marked restricted locations, some obstructing access for legitimate taxi services and others parked on double yellow lines.
The officers say the crackdown aims to target behaviour that affects the safety and accessibility of streets for other road users, including licensed drivers, disabled people and pedestrians.
The operation forms part of ongoing efforts to improve compliance with parking regulations and reduce disruption in busy city locations.
Merseyside Police reminded motorists to consider the impact of their parking choices, especially in areas where space is allocated for specific users or safety purposes.
A Merseyside Police spokesperson said: “We continue to take action against inconsiderate parking in Liverpool City Centre. Overnight, a number of vehicles issued Traffic Offence Reports for parking in Taxi Ranks, disabled badge holder bays, loading bays and in other ways inconsiderate to other road users.”
