Islanders parking on beach slipways and blocking emergency vehicles could be creating a life or death situation.
That's the warning from Jersey's coastguards, firefighters and paramedics.
At least four times this summer people have been found unconscious in the sea and rescuers gave been delayed getting to the casualties.
It's happened at Welcome Slip, Dicq Slip and La Haule Slip.
Tim Hilditch, Specialist Watch Officer with Jersey Coastguard, says it could prove fatal:
"If (the slipway) is blocked it can take valuable minutes off the emergency services getting to an incident - either launching the Fire and Rescue Service boat, or if there's an incident with somebody on the beach that needs medical assistance and the ambulance can't get to them it takes time away from that.
In the case of somebody being in the water it is imperative that we get to them as quickly as possible. To have the slipway blocked will make a difference in any kind of outcome for a casualty.
Motorists are being reminded to only park along one side of a slipway and to check nearby signage for other restrictions.
The trial into the Haut du Mont explosion, which killed ten residents nearly four years ago, has been told that Island Energy 'did not have systems in place to make sure what its employees were doing was safe'.
A Tunisian man, who sexually assaulted five women on the streets of St Helier, has been jailed for nine years, with deportation recommended upon the completion of his sentence.
Jurors have heard the 999 call made by Haut Du Mont resident Louisa De Almeida, reporting the smell of gas inside her flat, hours before the explosion that killed her and nine others in December 2022.
The supervising engineer of gas works that led to a fatal explosion at Haut du Mont was distracted when he attended the flats to check valves were closed, Jersey's Royal Court has been told.
A jury has heard claims the gas work undertaken in the area around Haut Du Mont on the day before a fatal explosion four years ago was rushed, based on 'guesswork', and 'sloppy'.
