Some years ago, the council put up a barrier after complaints from residents re school parking. It lasted 6 - 9 months as residents found they could not get delivery vans, council contractors, Royal Mail etc to the street. If they had an idea of what time delivery was due, they could have their keys to the barrier ready to nip out and open up. One of the OAPs in the bungalows got the barrier up but the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.
