Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE number of vehicles on the road should not be allowed to increase at a fantastic rate without adequate parking facilities being provided, together with plenty of road room. This view was put forward last week by M. Pierre Bourlon, Paris traffic superintendent, when he addressed the House of Commons All Party Roads Group.

M. Bourlon. who is responsible for the operation of the Blue Zone method of parking in Paris, was brought to Britain as a guest of the Roads Campaign Council. He said France had found that the only solution to streets being choked with parked vehicles was limited parking regulations, plus enforcement.

French drivers were hostile towards parking taxation, hut they had co-operated fully with the Blue Zone scheme, which was superintended by traffic wardens who had no power of arrest, The system was to be extended.
