Gavsta Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 They've coned off the two spaces nearest to it now to prevent any other morons hitting it but that doesn't seem to have helped, as now the parking morons are ignoring the cones and one got moved today and the other got run over by some pleb in an R-Plated car. I kid you not, couple of weeks ago there was a woman in a post office van drove all the way down bucks road and to Victoria street with a 4 foot cone trapped under the front of the van. Didnt even realise! It took another postie in a rather larger van to wave her down and then try and get it out. Laugh? I nearly fell over in the street.

Gavsta Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 This seems to have been going for a while This guy has his facts wrong however. A commercial vehicle on business (say a drop off or pick up) is allowed to park on double yellows for the purpose of that visit. Your not allowed to just leave it there mind.

Gladys Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Does that include a taxi stopping on the zig zags outside Bar Henry (formerly the Peveril Hotel)? Because I happen across that silly arse just about every morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallybug Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 This seems to have been going for a while This guy has his facts wrong however. A commercial vehicle on business (say a drop off or pick up) is allowed to park on double yellows for the purpose of that visit. Your not allowed to just leave it there mind. Not sure if they are similar but UK regs are: Guidelines for loading and unloading: * Drivers are usually allowed to stop to load or unload. If the items are heavy or bulky or if the driver has a large number of items which would involve more than one trip, the car is allowed to wait on the yellow line. But the car should be moved and parked legally when the loading or unloading is finished. * Commercial vehicles are allowed to collect and deliver goods. If any paperwork needs to be checked, such as delivery notes or invoices, the time this takes can be included in the loading/unloading time allowed. Obviously, the vehicle must be moved after the delivery or collection has taken place. * Loading is not permitted at places where the parked car could cause an obstruction, such as within 10 metres of a junction. * Sometimes, within a parking place, there is a yellow line called a “loading gap”. The same rules as above apply to this yellow line. * Often there will be yellow ‘blips’ on the kerb. These warn that there is a loading restriction. Two ‘blips’ mean no loading ‘at any time’. One ‘blip’ means that loading is restricted at certain times, as shown on a white plate. Even Blue Badge holders with badges and time clocks are not allowed to park where there are loading restrictions in force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Heh, no parking cones at all this morning. The scaffolders have improvised though, with some metal scaffold feet and some hazard tape. D.O.T. and Police currently out there discussing the situation with said scaffolder! Don't like the idea of those metal poles, that's just putting temptation into the hands of the drunks in the early hours this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gonzo Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Sure you're not BPM? Fraid not - though I wish I'd had such a funny idea. And before the rozzers show up, this isn't me either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
