Cyclists are invited (instructed on a blue rectangular sign?) to rejoin the carriageway, but Mr Motorist has decided to park across the dropped kerb (and on the zig-zags of the zebra parallel crossing). See also #198036. A similar dropped … [more]
Still plenty of pavement parking on the shared footway on Archerhill Road, including learner drivers being taught to pavement park.
Pavement parking and driving in Castle Street. The cycle route from Ferry Road to Byres Road appears to be coming around here.
Cars parked across Bird Cage Walk at school leaving time make access for cyclists and pedestrians more difficult and more dangerous.

[Image taken 27.5.23] Burton Stone Lane, York. A beautiful, sunny Saturday on a bank holiday weekend and the Clifton Bingo (www.cliftonbingo.co.uk/) carpark is quite full. It is a classic example of a trip generator and not in a good way. … [more]

Lots of people driving to walk or cycle on the Monsal Trail - though it's just a short walk from Bakewell.
Church Lane, Leytonstone It is interesting to see this use of rocks and oil barrels being used to prevent car storage. The route sign offers a quiet route to Stratford on the London Cycle Network (whatever that is!).
Church Lane, Leytonstone It is interesting to see this use of rocks and oil barrels to prevent car storage. A couple of stainless steel cycle racks too.
Astonishing - there's a large car park but no cycle parking at all for Red Cross first aid courses at Lothbury House.
