Would agree though that, without knowing where the public road begins and ends, it might be worth investigating if the OP is actually parked on a private road.
I didn't mention revenue generation, mainly because I didn't think that's why the restrictions were put in place.
Yes, the reason given for the restrictions was dangerous and antisocial parking (which undoubtedly took place).
The outcome is that responsible parking in undesignated but offroad parking is now a ticketable offence while no increase in designated parking infrastructure has been provided. This is being rolled out on other roads like the A82.
An unhealthy, unfit urban Scots population is being deterred from accessing their own country or funnelled into controlled designated arrangements.
I have no issue with dangerous parking being dealt with, but we seem to see increasing restriction and control (a la LLTNP) with little increased provision for responsible access.
