For all the people saying that the street is narrow because of council greed or a lack of planning perhaps fail to realise that the streets in this area of Melbourne are at least 70 years old and date from a time when cars were both smaller and far fewer in number. The solution here would be to remove on-street parking from one side of the street and realign the markings accordingly.

Monaro is behind the 'No Standing' sign, and tyres are pretty close to the kerb before the truck drags him sideways - so he's legally parked. Grey Ford is also legally parked, and the oncoming cars are reasonably close to the kerb. Garbo apparently didn't use his left mirror to check his clearance to the 'bright yellow obstruction', and hit the stationary, legally parked car, so it'll all be on him.
@BlairSauer2 жыл бұрын
I agree. That's an expensive fuck up. At least the Monaro is repairable. However the Garbo didn't stop straight away but managed to pull up on the other side of the roundabout. Monaro driver didn't look very impressed at all given that the car is a modern classic and is worth a lot of money. And I wouldn't be impressed either if that was me in that situation. The Garbo had room to go a little wide across the centre line to avoid the vehicle provided that he pays attention to oncoming traffic. Having said that, the cars coming the opposite direction would have to move over a little to give the Garbo some room. Makes sense? I think it does. Hopefully the owner of the Monaro will have his vehicle repaired and back on the road as soon as possible. Garbo will have to cough up.

The Garbo obviously wasn't watching what he was doing and therefore clipped the Monaro and then felled a small tree afterwards for his trouble. Says a bit about his driving. That Monaro had every right to be parked there where he was. Although the incident wasn't helped by the fact that the street is a little narrow for a Garbo to go down without too much trouble.

As a former Garbo I can sympathize with this bloke. While technically he was at fault for the car, my experience with councils, Vic roads and Parks Victoria says that if the waste collection company complained about both the parking and the low tree branches, those complaints would be instantly dismissed, regardless of the obvious danger to the public. In Mentone for example, there is a gum tree branch about a foot thick over the road on a bend, forcing the truck drivers to move over the middle line (toward oncoming traffic) to avoid it, Kingston council received a number of complaints from at least two garbage collection companies for more than a decade and it is still there to this day because "the residents might complain".

I think the car is at fault for parking too close the unbroken centre line, near the intersection, same as illegally parked car other side of the road.

I guess the no standing signs denote the far end of the parking area? Personally I haven't seen that kind of thing before, usually if one end is painted then so is the other, unless there's an obvious barrier like a protruding kerb.

You cannot park on the side of the road when there is less than three meters between the edge of your car and the center-line, or the other side of the road (on narrow roads). The Monaro was parked with less than three meters between it and that line so that is against the road rules. Note how the marked car parks are located in an area of the road without a center-line? The center-line is near the intersections to keep them clear to allow safe passage of traffic, which unfortunately the Monaro driver didn't do. The truck should not have crashed into it however, so maybe the Micra was coming at it or jammed it who knows as I cannot tell.
@AnotherDoug2 жыл бұрын
The 3 metre rule only applies if the dividing line is continuous. There is a break in the dividing line which can be seen between the yellow and blue cars. Also, there is a No Standing sign just ahead of where the car was parked - which legitimises the location where the yellow car was legally parked.

Whether the car should have been there or not is beside the point- garbage truck didn't even attempt to slow down to navigate the narrow space. No one should be going that fast down obstructed roads anyway where the visibility is do poor- I would be worried about hitting someone crossing the road who hadn't seen me coming from behind all the parked cars!!!

Council's fault (and truck drivers) - the "No Stopping" sign pointing the other way suggests you can park there, but in fact you can't because you need to leave a 3m clearance to the solid line markings in the middle of the road. Council would claim he was illegally parked, however he could argue that given the presence of the sign "any reasonable person" would assume it's ok to park behind it....

The council has failed to leave more than 3 metres for parking near an unbroken line (See rule 208 of the Victorian Road Safety Road Rules 2017). However the truck driver was also negligent in his action of crossing over an unbroken line to pass the Monaro, he should have stopped and waited for all on coming traffic to pass before proceeding to the intersection.

The 3 metre rule only applies if the dividing line is continuous. There is a break in the dividing line which can be seen between the yellow and blue cars. Also, there is a No Standing sign just ahead of where the car was parked - which legitimises the location where the yellow car was legally parked.
