The Lord Mayor has taken to social media to name and shame illegally parked motorists.

And he was not backing down.

Robert Doyle told Neil Mitchell that it’s illegal to park in bike lanes, bad for traffic flow and dangerous for cyclists.

“Parking in a bike lane is dangerous, it holds up traffic. Name them and shame them I recon, I think it’s great,” Mr Doyle said.

The Lord Mayor came under fire from a few 3AW listeners, asking if Robert Doyle will take responsibility for drivers who lose their jobs as a result of the photographs.
