>__Police discover self-painted parking bays on a St. Gallen street__
>Following a tip-off from the public, the St. Gallen city police have discovered illegally painted blue zone parking bays on a street. For the time being, the police do not know who grabbed a paint bucket and brush to paint more parking spaces.
>Someone had actually gone to the trouble of extending an existing parking space, wrote the “St. Galler Tagblatt” in Tuesday’s edition. The illegal action was not recognisable at first glance by laypersons.
>A previously removed parking space, on which three cars could be parked, had been painted back onto the road by unknown persons, a spokesperson for the St. Gallen city police confirmed at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency.
>The illegally installed parking space was reported by a person who was passing the section of road on a bicycle and had difficulty crossing with oncoming vehicles. It was precisely for this reason that the parking bay in question was recently removed, the police spokesman continued.
>The police do not know who drew the blue brushstrokes on Unterstrasse. The police spokesman added that the perpetrators could face charges.
>Last March, the city of St. Gallen announced plans to remove more than one hundred above-ground parking spaces in the city centre. The aim is to relocate parked cars to public underground car parks. (sda)
That‘s the kind of public dissent I can get behind. A car is still very necessary for a lot of people – even in cities.
I mean judging by the picture the parking lots are needed and doesn’t seem to interfere so I’d say just let it be

This is by far the heaviest resistance I have seen in Switzerland. Swiss people when prices get too high or taxes are unbearable: “oh no jtz müemmer wieder chli go motze”. But not this person. He took action straigth up. Mad resepct.
This is perfect!
“Following a tip off” lol —> someone has too much time, echte Bünzli. 😂🤦🏻♀️
Actually this is a good idea.
Officer, i didn’t paint it, i just park here.
All the people praising this so-called resistance act are the ones enjoying the fruits of a country were everything works because rules are enforced.
Crime in Switzerland is completely out of control.
with the horrible parking situation in st gallen, i’d appreciate it if more people did this lol
Hahah love it
Now look into Glattbrugg train station, where the week the cafe opened the sign that said “30 min” on the vertical sign was painted over, and the “30 min max” was painted over too.
The only 2 short term parkings became indefinite free parking….all other spots are paid.
Coincidences…always same cars there too
