Phnom Penh cops plan crackdown on parking

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

After living for more than a month in the elite section of PP's largest gated community, I've been able to observe the parking habits of the rich and powerful first hand. Apart from me, they all park on the street, due to the high security. Just like everywhere else, they block the narrow streets and park within a few cm's of other vehicles, which also causes problems. I've had my driveway blocked by ignorant pricks, usually high ranking police cars. The culture of impunity, selfishness and complete disregard for the rights of others is just as prevalent as in other parts of the city.

Lovely picture, completely impractical on PP’s narrow streets.

And not a single Khmer understands a yellow box junction, let alone even draw it properly.

An idea that is totally impractical until motorists understand what a pedestrian crossing is and they stop at traffic lights that are red.

I saw them raid 1 bar but the truck was also loaded with other tables and chairs, hence I said at least 1 bar
