Australians are divided over where motorcyclists park outside a McDonald’s in Victoria.
The driver had parked in a space clearly marked with yellow diagonal lines next to a handicapped spot by the door.
A disgruntled customer took a photo of the parking act and shared it in a public Facebook group on Wednesday night.
“I’m pretty sure it’s a catwalk, but don’t let that burger and fries get in the way of you being a ‘malaka,'” he said.
Social media users were divided over whether or not the cyclist was allowed to park in the space.
Some suggested the driver could have been an Uber Eats delivery person, arguing that they can legally park in pedestrian areas, but only if they do not obstruct others.
Others laughed and joked that the rider was simply “too hungry.”
Some commentators argued that the extra space is for a van to implement a wheelchair ramp for disabled users and that no one else can park there.
The driver had parked in a space clearly marked with yellow diagonal lines next to a handicapped spot next to the restaurant door.
“This area provides access for people using mobility aids and side loading for wheelchair vans,” one person said.
“Food delivery drivers think they can park anywhere,” added another.
It is not yet clear whether the motorcyclist was legally allowed to park in that space, however VicRoads does provide specific rules for motorcyclists on where they can park.
“In Victoria, you can park your motorcycle on a pavement unless there is a sign saying you cannot do so,” its website states.
‘When parking, you must not obstruct or block the passage of pedestrians, delivery vehicles, public transport users or parked cars.
‘The responsibility for enforcing parking regulations on pavements lies with local authorities.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted McDonald’s for comment.
