Unless there's a bunch of pedestrians around. No driver ever wants to navigate through crowd
That is bullshit. In pretty much all German cities the central shopping mile is closed off to private vehicles. Only delivery services and obviously police/ambulances are allowed to enter during shopping times. It works. Had always worked. Stop making shit up to prop up your own shitty arguments.
In the English town nearest me, all shops have delivery bays at the rear. Yet still they are allowed delivery access on the pedestrianised street in front of their shop, and a few do still use it which is rather annoying. I avoid those businesses because I think they're selfish to bathe shoppers in fumes and brake dust.
Do they have the means to deliver from the rear? I would think that it's more convenient for the business too if they could do that.
Dude its called a simple “excuse me”
We have streets here that become pedestrian streets during the summer. During those times, delivery trucks come early in the morning while the streets are nearly empty and they stop right in front of the business they're delivering to. The rest of the year, they have to stop on the side streets because that's the only place where they don't block car traffic. They have to wheel everything much further and leave one thing or another unattended while doing so.
