[Image taken 13.3.22] Tanner's Moat, York. The double yellow lines are just 212cm long. This means all vehicles that park here: #166027, #166023, obstruct the cut-through, and obscure all the sightlines... for all non motorised users. These legitimate users include cyclists and Tier scooter customers turning into the gap from Rougier Street, or out of it, or trying to reach the ASL opposite; the wheeled luggage owners; the people in mobility scooters and wheelchair; and the buggy and cycle pushers who all need to use the sole drop kerb – in the gap between the sections of pavement that is also a hugely oversubscribed thru-route. I don’t believe drivers (including those making deliveries to the pub, the cafe, the offices) should be permitted to come this far up Tanner’s Moat. It is a ‘people’ space. And every vehicle that enters creates pollution and… needs to reverse/turn using more space, creating additional hazards and making active travel less attractive, easy and safe. Other image here today: #180050. Other images today: #180045 and links.
