Not sure whether parking is there or not. Even if not permitted, I would say no issue, there needs to be some space to park and in this stretch it is ok, when thinking how it looked perhaps one year back.Is that "Parallel Parking Only" on the stretch?
Re-tarring of Kerala State Transport Project (KSTP) roads, mainly between Varkala and Kallambalam, would be taken up soon.
