Over the past 30 years, West End resident Tim Mather has seen his street change from a quiet place where his kids could play cricket to a dangerous thoroughfare lined with cars parked bumper to bumper.

Mr Mather said traffic in the suburb was slightly out of control, but the problem was exacerbated by commuters who parked their cars in his street and then caught the bus.

Whynot Street is just two streets from Brisbane City Council's central traffic area, which enforces two-hour parking limits between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday and 7am to noon on Saturdays for vehicles without a valid resident's parking permit.

"It's very difficult to find a park before about 10 o'clock at night. The commuters go and then people going to the restaurants park," Mr Mather said.
