I agree with the comments about parking fees. I'm a local with small children so I don't want to spend all day there... ratehr just half an hour maybe.

Its no wonder that people park cars all along the main road despite the barriers and signs. This is incredibly annoying by the way and it won't be long before someone gets seriously hurt on this road.
