This is such an obvious obstruction of the pavement, the van has taken all of the pavement up - and yes that should be dealt with accordingly, however it does not remove the issue of low width roads which do require folk parking slightly on the kerb, to allow safe passage, there is swings and roundabouts to this, "we must ban all parking on the kerb" - Many UK roads and streets are just not wide enough, to allow adjacent parking on either side of the road.

Just two examples of the selfish car drivers parking on the footpath near me.

Which is an offence under the Highways Act 1959.

So parking will be made "one side only" as is already common.

Re: Pavement Parking

My street is one side only and a one way street as well. So cars drive as fast as they can the wrong way, half on the footpath and one day people will get killed.

Re: Pavement Parking

That street, Sea View Street, is also a one way street but that doesn't appear to matter either. It's a lawless town.

We view the highway code as advisory

Re: Pavement Parking

Maybe.

I nearly got run over this afternoon as a taxi was driving on the footpath. The roadworks improvements have just finished; result, worse than before.
