The switch from shared use pavement cycleway to on-street mandatory cycle lane on East Rd (Newmarket Rd roundabout) when empty. The bay was designed for buses, not parking. Signs are confusing and need amending to enforce mandatory cycle la ... [more]
East Road, 8 March 2007, 3:25 pm. Number plate N146 KVG, reported to police with reference 423. On this occasion the car was on the double yellow line.

Yesterday's car has not been washed. Had it been moved? Ian Greasley, Senior Engineer wrote earlier today: "There are no funds at the present moment for any re-design of this lay-by even if it was warranted. There are however funds for ... [more]

Car "80WG" obstructing access from Thompson's Lane to Jesus Green. Reported to Police with incident number 436.
Local Authority Parking Enforcement (LAPE) in action. Though it looked as if the driver, who had picted up a coffee from the former bicycle store at the corner of Hills Road got away with it. LAPE acts on double yellow line, it does not mat ... [more]
Most Sunday mornings cars (different ones) park in the MCL. Being pushed from the MCL into the main lane is particularly bad on Sundays, as due to less traffic on Milton Rd cars tend to exceed the 30 m/h speed limit on the road.
¿ What is it with cycle ways in Cambridge that motorists confuse them with car parks ?
After reporting the obstruction caused by cars on the MCL to the police several times, I have noticed an improvement during the past few days in that cars only invade the MCL, without blocking it completely.
Cars are allowed to park Mon-Sat daytime for 30 min in this lay-by on East Road, which is designated on our Traffic Regulation Orders and by signage on site as a maximum waiting parking place. This one invades the MCL and stands on the "cyc ... [more]
The car park begins (and double yellow line ends) where the width of the bay clearly is insufficient for any vehicle.
A ridiculous situation in Regent Terrace. Supposed to be a main walking and cycling route to the centre from the Station area, this is in fact a dangerous and hostile car park.
The volume below this Cathedral in San Sebastian was not sacred enough to stop an underground carpark from being built.
Monument to Car Culture. A sign on the way into Newcastle says there are 10,000 public car parking spaces.
We've had reports that on the weekends in the run-up to Christmas this area is totally swamped with vehicles trying to avoid city centre car parking charges.
Wherever there is space, cars will squeeze in - often blocking each other in. Traffic wardens will not ticket a vehicle unless it completely obstructs the footpath or is on double yellow lines. As these vehicles are not on the "Road" they a ... [more]
Builders from the nearby Brunswick Development (http://www.brunswick-site.co.uk) use the cycle path under the bridge for free parking, obstructing the foot path.

By crossing the bollards at Cutter Ferry Close, cars and vans can park all along the cycleway both sides of the bridge.
More unrestricted car parking in cycle lane on Clarence Drive on Colleges Cycle Route. Presumably the direction for the city centre (omitted on sign) is straight on.
Cycle lanes with unrestricted car parking in Clarence Drive, on Colleges Cycle Route. Surely creating cycle lanes without any waiting restrictions, thus allowing car parking in them, is a waste of public money. The same result (unrestric ... [more]
Cycle link at end of Marlborough Avenue linking to Crow Road blocked by car parked across entrance of cycle track. Cyclists tend to use gap in Fire Path instead. See also #34310.
Cycle link from Crow Road to Marlborough Avenue at risk of blockage from car parking. This one has left a little space, but see #34311 taken from other side of Fire Path.
Unrestricted car parking in cycle lanes on Corkerhill Road, outside sports centre with its own off-road car park (which was half empty at the time of photo).
Thoroughfare narrowed by creation of extra parking space following a request to remove the concrete trip hazard. Got to love the way Metrolink think one vehicle parked in the same place all day encourages more travelers than improved pedest ... [more]
Two charging points for electrical vehicles like the EWE e3 at the bicycle parking at the EWE Forum. See more pictures of the EWE e3 road going electric car: http://iitm.be/KarmannE3
Bell School development to Addenbrooke's link: this car parking will be very obstructive
This formerly no-car-parking, cycle-friendly development is now turning into an ugly, unregulated car park.

This formerly no-car-parking, cycle-friendly development is now turning into an ugly, unregulated car park. Note how the child on a bike is now on the pavement, presumably because the cars are now in the way.
Some of the many cars parked on double yellow lines along here - these two blocking access to the pedestrian / push-chair / wheelchair / cycle route, and restricting the visibility of children emerging from the nearby playing field. Afte ... [more]
Looks like the drivers of these cars think they can get away with the double yellow line violation by parking right on the verge. After reporting this to County's Parking Services I'm told these double yellow lines are not on the public ... [more]
Cycling here would be so much more safe and pleasant without all the cars parked, as shown here

Shows the typical scene on Regent Terrace on a Sunday when the parking restriction is not in place. See also #31762 where it is suggested that more cycle parking is needed here. As a cyclist, that would make it easier to use this route.
Space left for pedestrians after it has been stolen by parked cars on Milton Road is tiny, and surely would be impassable by a wheelchair
Motorists regularly entirely block the mandatory contraflow cycle lane here in Old Ruttington Lane. Vehicle registrations GF52 RTV and MX02 WAE are shown here.
A very wide boulevard has been largely closed to traffic in Valence - cycling permitted.
Attractive cycle-friendly estate now seems to be turning into a car park now that private no parking signs have been removed. Yellow lines needed before this becomes endemic.
Is Cambridge City Council's electric Street Scene vehicle allowed to park on double yellow lines?
The driver of this rail-replacement bus inconsiderately parked straight across the cycle lane through the car park at East Grinstead station.
A conspicuous car conspicuously parked in the mandatory cycle lane on the Woodstock Road outside Somerville College
Groningerstraat in Assen. This is a street the same width as Gilbert Road in Cambridge. The layout is extremely good for cycling, and residents get to keep their on-road car parking: http://hembrow.blogspot.com/search/label/groningerstra ... [more]
An already narrow path (which may be shared-use here) further restricted. There is a dropped kerb here, so it may be an entrance.
Scandalous that this parking, which causes an obstruction to buses, cycles and other traffic becomes free during the rush hour at 5pm!

Tesco unloading selfishly from the ring road narrows the carriageway for other road users badly
The excessive and obstructive car parking at this awkward cycle route junction should soon be resolved with some double-yellow lines.
Thoughtless car parking on St Matthew's estate: two cars on the pavement, the first right over the pedestrian crossing dropped kerb
Thoughtless car parking on St Matthew's estate: two cars on the pavement, the first right over the pedestrian crossing dropped kerb
The St Matthew's development off York Street may be a flash point for clamping but even legal parking should be considerate; in this common case the pedestrian desire line is being blocked a little. Should be proper yellow lines.
Surface-dressed in August 2010, but double yellow lines not repainted. With the parked cars, the road is only just wide enough for two cars to pass - I don't think buses would make it. Note that both the white van and the third car are ille ... [more]
Car parked on the footway - 'This space is reserved at all times for use by the Minister' - but is it really?
This car was parked outside the One-Stop, right across the cycle lane, on Sunday at lunchtime.
