See "video" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EvLQo0v23Q It's illegal, causes injury and death. And there's space nearby elsewhere. Why do some car drivers do this, blind ot the issues they cause? http://radwagon.blogspot.com/2011/06 ... [more]

Cycle contraflow completely blocked by MACC Building Solutions van. Occupants, in back of van, said they had to block the cycle lane because there was nowhere else to park.
W582 EOO unlawfully parked on Emmanuel Street, during the morning peak period. Note that the Royal Mail van in the distance (well; not that far, and that's my point) is parked in the loading bay. There is more than one van's length avaliabl ... [more]
Yet another Carlsberg lorry parked on the contra-flow mandatory cycle lane, forcing cyclists into head-on confrontation with oncoming traffic. Registration YJ08 AHL.
Unknown van using up most of the contraflow on Downing Street; couldn't be bothered to get his registration—there's really no point; nothing'll ever get done about it.
Yet another white van on Bateman Street scrupulously keeping the road clear for motor vehicles while blocking the contraflow cycle lane.
Panton Street is one way, but a contraflow would help many school children and residents, and there is space.
Private hire vehicle CU05 MWM with windscreen plate number 409, parked (engine off) in contraflow cycle lane. Took this picture, then went over to his window. Me: "Are you aware that you're illegally parked?" Him: "Mate, mate: move on." ... [more]

Saint Andrews Bureau truck blocking the contraflow cycle lane and footway on Bateman Street again - as a local property management firm they really should know better.
Bus stands in St Andrews Street, just around the corner from the main "bus station" in Emmanuel Street. General traffic is restricted here by the flying motorbike sign. The street is one way to motor traffic, 2 way to cycling - note the ... [more]

Police van blocks contraflow cycle lane on Downing St. whilst officers attend Revolution Bar. Time 09:15
Wonderful - a warning sign for the car traffic which isn't being impeded, but nothing at all for cycle traffic in the contraflow lane which has actually been totally blocked.
Apex Scaffolding truck parked in Mandatory Cycle Lane - but would it be any safer if they parked on the other side and carried the poles across??
Cyclist pushing bike along footway, possibly due to St Andrews Bureau vans parked illegally in the Mandatory Cycle Lane. As a local property management firm they really should know better. One of their vans was there again four days later.

Dangerous and illegal parking is very common. Turning into the contraflow cycle lane on Mawson Road leaves the cyclist stuck between oncoming cars on Mill Road and Mawson Road
Bike lane is now a convenient parking bay for taxis. Parking is not enforced since the red tarmac obscures the double yellow lines. Police can't be bothered to enforce the statutory bike lane.
Police car parked in the cycle lane, totally unnecessarily. Not obviously an emergency situation.
Taxis parked on the cycle contraflow on Mawson Road. The blue one was still there two hours later.

Abusive driver stopped in mandatory contrafow cycle lane in Downing Street. Others report that this vehicle has been stopped here on other days.
The short cycle lane at the west (Hills Rd) end of Glisson Road is often blocked by vehicles parked illegally on the double yellow lines. Some regular sweeps have been requested to try and stamp out this illegal and selfish behaviour.
Obstruction of the contraflow cycle lane by illegally parked vehicles is a persistent problem. Cyclists are forced to leave the lane and ride into oncoming traffic to get past vans like these. The second van in the picture is straddling the ... [more]
This illegally and inconsiderately parked car has been ticketed. But it is not next to a yellow line so apparently not enforceable under the Council's new parking enforcement regime. Could this have been ticketed by the police?
