WILLEMSTAD – The Korps Politie Curaçao will shortly begin targeted enforcement actions against illegally parked vehicles in the Jan Thiel area and surrounding neighborhoods. The decision follows ongoing complaints about vehicles being parked irresponsibly, creating traffic problems and safety risks.
According to police, cars in and around Jan Thiel, Kaya Adriatiko and Jan Thielbaai are frequently parked in ways that obstruct traffic flow and pose particular dangers to pedestrians. Authorities say the situation has become increasingly problematic due to the high volume of visitors and local traffic in the area.
Police will specifically take action against drivers who park their vehicles on roundabouts, sidewalks or in locations where traffic signs clearly indicate that parking is prohibited. The enforcement measures are aimed at improving road safety and ensuring better accessibility for all road users.
Vehicles found to be parked illegally may be towed to a designated storage location. The police stressed that all associated costs and risks of towing and storage will be borne by the vehicle owner.
