BACOLOD City – The Bacolod Traffic Authority Office (BTAO) reminded motorists and establishments that sidewalks are for pedestrians and are not parking spaces.
“Sa mga establishments, indi gid pwede kabutang sang reserve sa parking spot, especially in public places,” BTAO deputy officer-in-charge Jose Antonio Robello said.
He added that if establishments that use sidewalks as parking or display areas argue otherwise, BTAO is backed up with a city ordinance in their implementation.
“May kakulangan man ang gobyerno nga kuntani madugay na ini gin-enforce, but we are trying our best,” Robello said.
He also mentioned that Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez told them to extend consideration to motorists, especially during emergencies./PN
