Garbage collection - there's barely enough room to get past this city council refuse vehicle.
Busway maintenance track blocked by maintenance vehicle (how dare they?) - in fact we crept past on the right.
See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkFR3A8bLmE Yet more experiences of Sedgwick Avenue. This time it's a car that must just get ahead. I could see the oncoming traffic ahead as it passed and immediately knew that it was going ... [more]
Nasty little cycle lane in a bend obstructed by traffic cones and "Diverted traffic" signs.
The blocked cattle grid (see #27731). Cyclists turning right from the main road will suddenly encounter an unexpected barrier, leaving them in a rather vulnerable position.
These roadworks unnecessarily block the cattle grid, so cyclists, wheelchair users and people with pushchairs can't get through. What the contractor ought to do is to put a bridging plate over the trench, just like the one they've used for ... [more]
Unreasonable flooding on the shared-use path north of the Trumpington Rd/Brooklands Ave junction.
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.

Taxi AG04 LCN with license 1051 parked in contra-flow cycle lane with double yellow line. So much about professional drivers.
Totally selfish and illegal parking to deliver at St Faith's School - no reason not to pull in a few metres ahead, off the zig-zags, and the road would not have been obstructed.
Daytime closure of cycle access to Addenbrookes while new accommodation is under construction.
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 (see #19172) to park the car with number plates AF52 VMO without blocking ... [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??
Queen's Road closed for tree works - the northbound car is trying to go on the wrong side of the cones (it did reverse and go the right way).

This parking by the police is contrary to the Highway Code, though probably not illegal.

Revolution are at it again. Staff think it is funny when someone complains at the illegal, dangerous and obstructive unloading
Hobson Street closed at North End due to collapsed sewer. One has to walk the bike along the pavement to get past the works.
Hobson Street is closed a little bit further on from here due to a collapsed sewer. No Entry signs covered up.
Memo to self - do not call for a fire engine when the Newnham Croft school pick-up combines with the permanent jam of builders' vans to block the roads. It's not as if there weren't parking spaces around the corner.
Council 'City Rangers' van obstructs the railway/guided bus underpass on Milton Road (NCN11).
Public Inquiry on the Mill Road Tesco planning application. Cambridge Cycling Campaign's representative appeared and helped defeat Tesco's proposals which would have seen Mill Road blocked twice a day for 41 minutes.
Cambridge's new million-pound clock is causing problems for cyclists and pedestrians on Benet Street.

With a little care (less) parking it's possible to block the pavement and the cycle lane. Licensed taxi 148 blocks mandatory cycle lane and pavement outside Revolution in Downing Street, Cambridge
Department of Transport survey vehicles blocking the footpath beside the A10 over the M11. This forces pedestrians onto the road into the traffic. Why couldn't they park in the nearby layby?
A motorist who appeared to have run into the bollards, or got stuck there, ignoring all the signage.
The taxi driver (plates MA03 ZBP ) with license 1015 is not bothered by the photo being taken of him blocking the mandatory cycle lane in rush hour (Wednesday, 8:05 am) as he is reading today's headlines about the supposedly increased cos ... [more]
