The Auckland Council wants a rule change to ban parking on berms in the region.
In some places, like Christchurch, they've been enforcing a ban for years.
However, not everyone is onboard with the proposed changes to Auckland's rules.
The Automobile Association is against a blanket ban on berm parking.
"Most of them time when people are parking on berms it's pretty harmless stuff - a neighbour has a party and a few people come around if it's a case of a busy Saturday afternoon football game at the local park.
"In these situations, it's really not a problem and do we really want to turn that into a problem that people get ticketed for?" Barney Irvine from the AA told Seven Sharp.
Before looking at a blanket ban, Mr Irvine says Auckland Transport should look at providing more parking.
