But motorists ARE allowed to park on the pavement by default. If everyone parked on the road, the Westwood Park situation would apply and the road would become impassable! Blocking roads is almost never a good solution - it simply forces traffic, including that of residents, to do even more miles further congesting other roads instead. The Forest Hill Society have discussed with TfL limiting the right turn into / out of Devonshire Road. Even this is not considered acceptable because of the displacement of traffic onto other roads.
