Agree that it's far from the only place in Medway with a problem with drivers using their park-anywhere lights to sit on double-yellows, but A2 in Rainham will definitely benefit from this. Being relatively narrow and relatively congested already (and a bus route), the stretch from Nationwide to the traffic lights can be particularly hard to navigate when there are cars and vans pulled up to use the cash machine/grab a takeaway/place a bet. Not to mention some of the strange parking choices made outside Dominoes! Hopefully it will be a positive improvement overall - the ANPR enforcement means it might even be respected rather than ignored.

Not likely. Suspect it'll be like a red line to a bell-end, to mangle a metaphor.

Plus half the time, the worst offenders will just drive completely onto the pavement, as some already do.

Issues with offloading for businesses should have been covered by the council or the precinct management at the planning/leasing stage.
