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.
Cars are allowed to park Mon-Sat daytime for 30 min in this lay-by on East Road. This car was reported for invading the MCL to police tel. 08454564564 [#8157] on 1 Mar 2007 at 3:15 pm and at 5.41 pm again.
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]

Red car W516 VOJ reported to police at 4:45 pm as incident 0403 / 02102007. This vehicle is a regular culprit: #11515, #11517 and #11638. Note: Many obstructions on the pavement. Confusing layout for cyclists.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
On 18 May 2010 a group of Gilbert Road residents, Councillors, the MP for Cambridge, members of the Cambridge Cycling Campaign and other road users cycled along the road to Chesterton Community College at the time when children were going t ... [more]
A massive PCL lorry delivers a grand total of three trolleys of milk to Tesco East Road, blocking most of one side of the road. This is an unsuitable location for lorry deliveries; instead the delivery bay round the back should be used, wit ... [more]
Unloading on East Road with large lorries causes problems for cyclists and other traffic.
Within the first two minutes, this is the tenth cyclist having to swirl into the main motor lane past this obstruction. In this 4 min series: #21515, #21517, #21518, #21519.
Car partly obstructing the cycle lane on Gilbert Road, a few hundred yards west of Chesterton Community College. In this 5 min journey along Gilbert Road from Guerney Way to Histon Road: #21506, #21508, #21509.
View from Gilbert Road into Warwick Road towards Mayfield Primary School at 8:28 am, a few cars parked near the school with children waiting to enter the school or nursery.
One pupil's safety is another pupils' risk. Car stopped right on the "END" sign of the cycle lane "to be legal". Other pupils have to cycle around the car into the main lane at an accident hot spot.
Many pupils cycle from Guerney Way to Chesterton Community College on the pavement. Coming from Milton Road / Guerney way, the only safe crossing is at the school gate.
Another example of selfish parking on Kingston Street. The pavement is totally blocked, forcing a mother to push her child down the middle of the road.
Contractors' cars turning Parkers' Piece into a car park. Why is this being allowed to happen?
Cambridgeshire Police Scientific Support unit parked in a mandatory cycle lane (MCL). Officer had just returned to the car to fill in forms. There was plenty of space to park the car (see #19172) with number plates AF52 VMO without blocking ... [more]
I watched them come and go for at least five minutes. They couldn't have been travelling from more than half a mile away. In a city that's only so wide, surely you would think that these people would take to walking and cycling; n'aw?
Economic value of parking spaces in Petersfield; demonstrates how free parking in the area is a bargain and puts complaints about lack of space in context
Amazing! Someone has stopped to unload on Bateman Street without blocking the contraflow cycle lane.
For a second day, parked with room for bikes to pass on both sides. As Woody Allen said to Annie Hall, 'it's fine, I can take a cab to the sidewalk!'.
These cycle lanes are often useless as cars park in them. Schedule 23 of The City of Cambridge Area B (Consolidation) Order 1993 includes the entirety of Gilbert Road as one of the locations for mandatory cycle lanes. (Solid lines, no ... [more]
Bottisham Dental Centre and Medical Centre - prairies of car parking, but no cycle parking at all.
Selfish parking across pavements. Why do they do it, when there is enough space for others to park?
