Weekdays often load more cleanly
In Longton, weekday slots often work well because the team can plan around normal traffic patterns rather than competing with weekend shopping or irregular parking demand.
Building rules matter as much as road traffic
Flats, managed blocks and shared entrances can be stricter about move-in times than the street outside. A good slot needs both the road and the building to work together.
