KUTA ~ Although a policy had been implemented to make Jl. Legian a no-parking zone, violations had occurred, despite prohibitive signs in the area, an official said.

“Parking violators have been warned many times, but violations of the new policy continue. We’ve often had to expel parking offenders,” a civil defense official said.

Gede Suparta, Kuta village chief, argued that since the policies were new, it would take a while for people to get used to not parking on Jl. Legian.

“The new policy is still in the middle of its socialization process. Please understand if violations have been made,” Suparta said.
