Although the Regional Exploration Gallery at Keelung’s National Museum of Marine Science and Technology has paid parking lots, finding a space is often incredibly difficult. Looking to cheat the system, some drivers have chosen to park for free in the pickup and drop-off zone, even though it’s meant for loading and unloading passengers. The illegal parking has sparked public outrage, leading the museum to respond by vowing to formulate corresponding measures.

As far as the eye can see, every parking space under this bridge is taken. There isn’t even a spot to park along the road. Even the paid parking lots are full. Drivers looking to stop in this drop-off space for a few minutes can understand if there are a few cars parked there, but the entire row? That’s too much.

It’s long-term parking! Some people even park their scooters there to hold the space. We often see cars parked there for a long time that never move.

Angry at rule breakers
It’s ridiculous. Those are spaces set aside by the museum for people to drop off or pick up passengers. If you park there, people won’t know where to catch their ride.

This area is just outside the Regional Exploration Gallery of Keelung’s National Museum of Marine Science and Technology. It’s clearly meant for short-term pickup and drop-off, but recently, it’s become a regular lot where people like to park long-term. Law-abiding drivers looking for a legitimate space have been left feeling like fools.

Considering solutions
They might as well just turn it into a paid parking area. Make everyone pay. If they charge money, it’ll be fairer for everyone.

Finds it unfair
They’re abusing a loophole. It’s not fair to everyone else, especially tourists. When it’s like that, tourists have no idea what’s going on. If your car is blocking the way, how are they supposed to know it’s actually a drop-off zone?

In response, the museum has asked the relevant authorities to draft measures to prevent opportunistic drivers from continuing to take advantage of this parking loophole.
