These signs may soon pop up on Sydney council’s busiest streets

A Sydney council is considering banning drivers from parking trailers, boats and caravans in several areas amid community safety concerns.

Sutherland Shire Council is looking into the long-term parking of boats, trailers and caravans on busy local streets after multiple residents reported the issue.

"The issues raised included visual amenity, reduced sightlines, safety risks, and prolonged storage on public roads," a Sutherland Shire Council spokesperson told nine.com.au.

The council is considering enforcement options under current legislation, recommended improvements to existing legislation, and options for a targeted trial of parking measures.

Those measures could include signs banning trailers, boats and caravans from parking in key locations across busy suburbs like Cronulla, Woolooware and Lilli Pilli.

Many locals say they'd welcome the change.
