In recent months the local news has been filled with articles concerning Venice's increasing transportation difficulties, including more large cruise ships, vaporettos crowded with tourists, and even new limits on kayaks, canoes and dragon boats. Yes, even dragon boats, so I've been directly impacted by the new regulations our temporary mayor put in place mid-April. Fortunately, those stringent rules have been modified a bit, so soon we'll be rowing back on the Grand Canal.
The other day I witnessed yet another traffic issue. I thought surely this would make headline news the next morning. Our interim mayor needs to get on this problem before it gets completely out of hand.

Double parking in Venice. (It was in front of a toy store, I can totally understand the necessity.)

If that is the only double parking you have to worry about lucky you.
But I also understand about the limit on Dragon Boats! They need to limit cruise ships....not Dragon Boats!
Just couldn't resist, this photo was too cute!
So glad you can row on the Grand Canal again - it seems only right! The gigantic cruise ships so close to Venice are an abomination.
Completely agree, Freda. Butz the city government doesn't seem to agree with me!!!
They aren't double-parking, they're Google self-driving scooters getting ready for a drag race.
