We Victorian motorcyclists are fortunate to be able to park on footpaths.  However a little common sense applies so we don’t kill the goose.  Please use your footpath parking privilege accordingly.  According to VicRoads Publication Number 00741 – Guidelines for Parking Motorcycles on Footpaths, Do Not Park:

• Where signs indicate that motorcycles may not park. (Have a quick look at signs)
• Opposite any parking bay reserved for people with disabilities. (marked with a wheelchair sign and symbol)
• Where space is reserved for footpath activities such as street cafes.
• On or near service access points, such as manhole covers, post boxes or rubbish bins.
• Near taxi ranks and bus and tram stops.
• On private property without permission from the property owner.
