To beat Parking Crackdown - Japan - Customers asked to receive deliveries near trucks
Tokyo,Japan -Mainichi Daily News -May 24, 2006: -- The trucking industry has asked customers to receive deliveries near trucks as law enforcers are poised to step up their crackdown on parking violators... The Japan Trucking Association has printed 1 million copies of a leaflet asking customers to come to trucks to receive deliveries because their drivers must stay near the vehicles to avoid being hit with a parking violation ticket. Moreover, the leaflet asks customers to secure a parking space for parcel delivery trucks... Under current regulations, police officers issue a traffic violation ticket in cases where a driver fails to return to their vehicle 30 minutes after finding it parked illegally... However, the revised Road Traffic Law that is to come into force on June 1 allows police officers to issue a traffic violation ticket immediately after finding an illegally parked vehicle... Nippon Express Co., a leading trucking company, is gathering information on less expensive, unmanned parking lots across the country and is considering having an assistant driver ride each of its delivery trucks... Sagawa Express Co., another major trucking firm, is planning to switch to smaller vehicles so that they can easily find parking spaces... However, as smaller member companies cannot cope with the situation, the industry as a whole has launched efforts to work out countermeasures...
