This information was shared in a humorous blog post titled "View from the Potting Shed" by local resident and blogger, John Crawford. In the post, Crawford shares his observations on the comical aspects of car park etiquette in his town.
According to Crawford, a local belief holds that car park spaces are reserved for cars that are red or blue in color. He pokes fun at this by suggesting that drivers should consider painting their cars these colors to secure a guaranteed spot.
The blogger also laments the difficulty of finding a parking space in St Andrews, especially during tourist season. He advises readers to arrive early to secure a spot, or risk driving around for hours looking for a place to park.
While the post is lighthearted in nature, it does highlight the challenges of parking in a busy town like St Andrews. As the town continues to attract visitors and residents alike, finding a parking space may only become more difficult.
