For the love of God, why isn’t there an exclusion zone, and permanent waiting restrictions?? Try doing that in the centre of Cardiff and get away with it!!
Just because it’s popular, doesn’t make it right. I’m imagining you’d probably need 3 massive car parks (rather than one) to stop all the parking.
Is it as bad as this in summer or just winter??
And never mind all the parking, how many accidents are there caused by people trying to get there??
See the second photo - if it snows, it's just as bad but with icing conditions.
I know that stretch has an unusually high KSI and accident rate, not surprising given the massive dropoff though I'm not sure anyone has ever gone off it. But to be fair, when the road is that clogged with parked cars, people don't come screaming through it because you'd be knocking kids and cars down the mountain in the process.

Two reasons:
1: Its the top of a mountain with few addresses/ratepayers around
and
2: Its on the border between South Wales and Dyfed-Powys police force areas
