Create law limiting cars per household to number of off-street parking spaces

Closed 49 signatures

What the petition asks

Introduce a law limiting households to owning only as many cars as they have off-street parking spaces (driveway or garage). This could ensure residents can park legally, reduce congestion, and prevent unfair use of public roads.
Our street is overcrowded, and my family often has to park 15+ minutes away just to avoid tickets. Some households own more cars than they have driveways or garages, creating public and financial inconvenience. Limiting cars per household could ensure fair use of space and make legal parking near home possible.
