Village: Don't park your car in middle of roadway

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 10, 2014 - 3:20pm

The Village of Bluffton is experiencing issues with cars parking nearly in the middle of the roadway due to snow at the curbs on several streets, according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator.

It appears as though these vehicles are parking away from the curb so passengers can open the door and exit the vehicle, but then leaving the vehicle parked nearly in the middle of the driving lane. 

One vehicle was parked a mere three feet from the painted center line of South Main Street.
