Residents in the parish who own motorhomes are concerned about the lack of parking spaces for this type of vehicle. As explained in diaryat the origin of the controversy there is a communal regulation that prohibits parking on public roads between eight in the evening and eight in the morninga measure that applies indiscriminately to vehicles with Andorran registration and to foreigners. This restriction applies exclusively to motorhomes, while any other vehicle for regular private use, such as a passenger car or motorbike, can be left on the street overnight.
To try to mitigate the effects of this ban, the common have enabled alternative night parking points for motorhomes at various points in the parish, including Sornàs, Cortinada and Serrat. Those affected complain, however, that the number of vehicles registered in the parish far exceeds the number of free spaces, a problem that is aggravated on days of greater tourist influx because many visitors do not know the communal regulations, occupy spaces reserved for residents and in some cases even spend the night there.
From one side to the other
This lack of space forces the owners to unlikely logistical situations. For example, those who live or are in the area of Ordino pass they must travel to these special points for motorhomes if they do not want to be fined.
Motorhome owners also complain that these specific areas they do not have additional services for this type of vehicle and argue that they should beexclusive use for parish residents. If a foreign driver arrives earlier and parks in the designated space, they explain, the resident is left without a place. They also consider that this situation is unfair because the annual pass to park in the areas for caravans and motorhomes costs 250 euros. An amount that should guarantee residents that they will find a place to park their vehicle, those affected note.
Regulating the use of the public space reserved for motorhomes is one of the major challenges of the common The corporation is currently working on a project to create one specific parking for these vehicles at the foot of the Ordino-Arcalís stationwhere you could also spend the night.
the problem
- THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WITH THE CURRENT PLACES. Resident motorhome owners say the current spaces are not enough to meet the parking needs of drivers in the parish.
- A PROBLEM WHICH IS AGGRAVATED IN THE SUMMER. The problem is exacerbated during the high summer season, when there is a greater influx of motorhome visitors. Many foreign vehicles misuse the spaces reserved for residents.
- AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION OF 250 EUROS. Ordinance drivers point out that, if they have to pay 250 euros each year to park in areas for motorhomes, access to a space should be guaranteed.
