A pavement parking odyssey

[Accy cyclist]

Go get him, Accy!

Even if his chum had fallen, why not use one of the many vacant spaces in the handily placed and capacious car park that exists for just that purpose?

Exactly!! He's obviously a weirdo troll. Why post such claptrap when it's obvious someone like me will investigate such claims thoroughly!!🧐

I would be tempted to use a trolley just to make a special attempt to use that crossing.
Oops sorry !

 

[Drago]

Don't atop, Accy. I want the driver in the stocks of pu lic opinion having the rotten vegetables of vitriol thrown at him.

But he’ll only be a minute, and he’s just a hard-working guy going about his daily business…

These are starting to appear in Leicester. Currently just around schools, but would be good to see them spread. Though mean nothing if there is no enforcement.

The ones on the Leeds<>Bradford Cycle Superhighway are regularly ignored, they need enforcement.

I suspect there will be no enforcement here.

Is parking enforcement done by the police or the council there? If it's done by the council (as it is in most places now), they should send enforcement officers else they'll be accused of wasting money on pointless signs. If parking enforcement is still done by the police, the signs could be part of the council trying to undermine some "the signs aren't clear enough for us to enforce" BS excuse that the police are trotting out.

Neither seem to want to take responsibility. This was in the local rag last month and both said there was nothing either could do. It's madness.

Unless you have an adblocker I wouldn't bother with the link below, it is an awful site to navigate without one.

In those cases, report it to your local Traffic Commissioner. They are feared by HGV operators.

If those appeared here, no vehicles would negotiate 3 of the 4 parallel streets, where we live
The section we live on, is wider than further down, so there's almost 4 feet between most cars & the walls
(we're on a corner/junction of 2 lanes)

Trucks. I had a work colleague who took exception to a sand lorry regularly parking in his street so he modified the end of his walking stick with a dart tip to give some steel on rubber action.
Never happened again.

How come?

How come?

Too narrow
