Almost all the shops on Sydney Rd have street frontage of less than the length of 1 car park (the widest shops 2).
You can park for an insane 2 hours during the week...on Sunday (today) you can just park all day.

There were at least 10 people in that ChaTime and the car out the front could have been parked there all day.

For additional stupid the parking is a clearway during peak times which means you can't stop to pick something up when you're driving to or from work. So the shops don't get anything from most of the car traffic.

Sydney Rd is clearly a street designed around trams that has been slowly strangled by cars over the last 50yrs.
