Parking within 10 metres of an intersection - Kensignton

The side streets in the square of Barker, Botany, Rainbow St and Anzac Parade in Randwick/Kensington, near UNSW, are an extremely congested parking area, particularly in Uni term time.
The Council has extensively signposted this area, in many places imposing 1 or 2 hour parking limits. In many places, red 'No Standing' signs clearly indicate where people shouldn't leave their cars near intersections. However, in a number of strategic spots (particular examples are the corner of Barker St and Harbourne Rd AND between Middle St, Meeks Lane and Forsyth St), these signs don't appear. EVERY SINGLE DAY someone parks in these spaces, including yesterday, me, in the Meeks Lane spot. Randwick Council's Parking Inspectors regularly inspect this neighbourhood, with predictable results.

GRIPE - the fine for "parking within 10mtrs of an intersection without traffic lights" is $201 (!!), which I assume is meant to reflect the safety implications of the offence. Although $201 is a lot of money, I am not objecting to this. What I am concerned about is the fact that in a street that has 7 other parking instruction signs, including 2 red 'No Standing' signs on the Middle St end of Meeks Lane, a particular section of street has been "strategically" left without signage. The spot in question is on the intersection of a very minor lane, barely distinguishable from the multiple home driveways that lie adjacent to it.

As I said, every single day a car is parked in this space, which on a conservative estimate, must be netting the Council $60-70,000 a year!

PLEASE, PLEASE Randwick Council - erect a 'No Standing' sign on this site (and while at it, the corner of Barker St and Harbourne Lane). Assuming your primary duty in this matter is public safety and not revenue raising, please use the substantial revenue that must already have been collected on this site to improve the signage and allow motorists to make informed decisions about where to park in this area.
