I'm tired of seeing courier trucks, shred-it trucks and private vehicles blocking the roads during rush hour. Recent city hall proposals to tackle this have involved raising the ticket price, but I don't think that will work, since the commercial vehicles simply accept the fines as a cost of business, while private cars are rarely caught by parking enforcement during their dash ins to Starbucks or drycleaners, etc. Special curb cut outs or spots for couriers won't work, since there are thousands of businesses that would need such spots along rush hour routes.
My solution is to follow the UK, and clamp vehicles that park in these zones. Commercial vehicles would have to pay $500 for first offense, plus $200 de-clamping fee. Best of all, your hurting the company since their truck is now out of operation. Of course the road is still blocked, so it's not perfect.
