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 ?

Bikes overflowing across the road from the girls' school - because virtually every bike now has a basket, only half the otherwise adequate provision of cycle stands can be used....
Because of roadworks, car parking has been removed from the other side of the road - but because of the way the cones are placed it gains about 1 measly foot of extra space! But it makes a decent cycle lane (apart from the fallen cone) !
