Controlled Parking Zones

Vocabulary: Find the "odd one out"

There may be more than one answer. Give your reasons.

1. Choose the odd one out.
Possible answer: pavement parking. Pay & display and permit holder parking are forms of regulated parking. Pavement parking refers to parking on or partly on the pavement and is not itself a type of parking payment or permit scheme.
2. Choose the odd one out.
Possible answer: loading bay. A disabled bay and Blue Badge parking are associated with parking provision for disabled people. A loading bay is intended primarily for loading and unloading goods or passengers.
3. Choose the odd one out.
Possible answer: highway accessibility. Road safety and free flow of traffic are common objectives in managing roads and parking. Highway accessibility is more specifically concerned with whether people and vehicles can access and use the highway network.
4. Choose the odd one out.
Possible answer: obstructive. Dangerous and inconsiderate describe the nature of behaviour or its effect on others. Obstructive specifically describes something that blocks or gets in the way. There is considerable overlap, so another reasoned answer may be possible.
5. Choose the odd one out.
Possible answer: compliance. Enforcement and policing involve monitoring or taking action to ensure that rules are followed. Compliance means following the rules or requirements itself.
6. Choose the odd one out.
Possible answer: fixed fee. A fixed fine and a fixed penalty can refer to a specified financial punishment for an offence or contravention. A fixed fee is a charge for a service or transaction and is not necessarily a penalty.
7. Choose the odd one out.
Possible answer: disadvantages. Advantages and benefits both refer to positive features or effects. Disadvantages refers to negative features or effects.

Remember: an odd-one-out exercise can have more than one defensible answer. Your explanation matters.
